Default new miata

This is the first Canadian article I have seen about the new Miata. I would be interested if it had 200+ hp, impressions?

It's okay, but it sure is not as attractive as an S to me...

What should be interesting to see is how well the Miata does in the next few years, because it is going to have a lot more competition with the Solstace and the Sky.

I like it, it is MUCH less girlie than before. And the pictures on that site with the hardtop makes it look very much like an RX8. I was considering the new miata, at $28k it's close in price to buying my S2k. But so much less cool

Either the car has gotten A LOT bigger, or the driver is tiny...

His arms look like they're only as long as the diameter of the 17" rims!
