I bet its gonna be a 4 banger just to stay within the price range of low 30k's.

There's not even a question of it being an i4 in the car and it, typically, starts in the low $20k's.

I cant help but see a mix of a S2K/Z4 everytime I look at it. The side view looks good especially with the stock side blades that are placed there. The rear end does nothing for me though. I feel like Mazda went and took a bit of styling characteristics from a few manufacturers and molded them into the new Miata kind of a "FrankenCar". Im sure itll be fun to drive and make for a fun track car but I could never see myself going from a 370z to a Miata.

Yeah, I won't be in the market for 3-4 years so I'm hoping to decide between this and the new Z. That is, assuming that I fit in them!

This one is co-developed with Alpha, right?

Looks good, but not crazy about the round tails. Otherwise, very sharp :tup:

I really like Miatas, super fun cars to drive

Its a Mazda... it will have 50hp less than it should have. I've owned a few Mazda's before, fun to drive, but I remember one journalist stating that every Mazda is lacking just one thing.... an extra 50hp... which is so true.

My guess, it will have 160hp.

Not a fan. The car looks sleepy. Plus I have a penis, so I won't be in a Miata anytime soon.

Can you say LS swap? I would love to buy one and swap one in immediately.

Also hope the motor is more refined than a truck motor this round. I'd be hard pressed to ever buy another Mazda after two very bad experiences with Mazda products. Both were lemons.


Not sure about the engine, but the miata had a $10,000,000,000 budget just to create the most advanced "Door Rigidity Technology" in vehicle history. :tup:

Wow, the OG's are all gone? I was sure the old skool was gonna love this one? Lol

I agree and think this is SPOT on.
