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

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.

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.

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.
