I like the antenna. It's pretty racy.

Yeah, those are TERRIBLE.

They just don't match any other aspect of the car.

The rest looks pretty good/unchanged significantly from the last iteration, but those tails are a mystery to me.

Hammond didn't like that they changed the front fascia from "happy" to "grumpy", but it doesn't look bad.

Apparently they also moved the engine back a bit, so its technically (or very nearly) a midship in design.

If they made one with factory boost (they are fun to tool around in, but just don't have enough power), I'd consider one with a hardtop -- but that's basically what the 4c will be...

But the 4C is like $50K. For that kind of money, I'd be looking at a Cayman.

Great look. lost weight. Gearbox is great. Mx-5 have been getting great reviews since like 1990....I may consider switching....have to test drive one first though.

Looks great on video and such but I think you would be hard pressed to find a reason to switch from a 370z to this after driving one.

ive watched a lot of them too and it looks like a fun car. was toying the idea of getting one too in white (with bbk/bbs package), but keeping my 370Z.

not 100% sold on the idea yet, so been looking around recently to replace my dd first.

I'm guessing you were considering the MX-5 before purchasing the Subaru?
