Easily the best looking miata yet. Gorgeous.

I watched this also. Very nice. Need those front bumper corner splitters on the Z.

Why is it still smiling at me? Make it stop. MAKE IT STOP!!!

That being said, I do like how she curves at all the right angles... and the headlights impart a more sinister look (in a good way).

Still... I can't get over how the miata has that "face" look.

What kind of HP num and motor they doin?

I really like Miatas, super fun cars to drive

No 100% confirmation from Mazda yet, but some rumors are saying it might add a turbo this generation, so I would bet 220HP probably.

kenchan 09-04-2014 10:16 AM

ive seen a few different versions of that car that were so much better looking then that. :shakes head:

looks like a perverted snake peeking through a hole in the wall.

janglez 09-04-2014 10:55 AM

it's ok... much better than previous versions... but not enough power and i don't care for the taillights

Limeybastard 09-04-2014 11:22 AM

Only thing I dont like so far is the steering wheel, still using that large round one from current gen.

I have never been fond of the Miata but this...this is hot. Well done. Now...make a V6 I can turbo to 600hp and I'll buy one! LOL.

kenchan 09-04-2014 04:08 PM

with that ugly face it better be a v12

Shamu 09-04-2014 10:50 PM

...just when I thought Miata couldn't look more sissie. Argh! It is a cute little bugger. Hope quality is better than last version. My mx5 interior self destructed about a year after I bought it. 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.

sunkist350z 09-05-2014 03:49 AM

IMO this looks way better than the 370zr ....way better than the hideous 350zr which looks like they just chopped off the roof. Lines are elegantly proportioned, kinda looks like a mini Jag f-type. Great job Mazda now for the 4th gen RX7 please...

DLSTR 09-05-2014 04:25 AM

Nice car. Best overall sportscar value in the world!

Zoren 370 09-05-2014 05:00 AM

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.

SmokeEater27 09-05-2014 12:55 PM

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!

Jordo! 09-06-2014 09:20 PM

This one is co-developed with Alpha, right?

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

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.

wanker 09-10-2014 10:51 AM

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

Mitco39 09-10-2014 10:59 AM

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

kenchan 09-10-2014 12:02 PM

They need to fix that face..

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.

ajc1884 09-11-2014 09:01 AM

Good job Mazda....you may just make me give up on the Z.

PSPTHIW for short.

UNKNOWN_370 09-12-2014 01:32 AM

Let them come out with A Mazdaspeed Moats with 260hp and more masculine body treatment n I might fux with it???

Here's a one year ownership review. Seems like a great car.

370zrider 02-27-2017 10:29 PM

I just drived one last weekend.

It's a tiny sportscar.

The shifter and clutch are sooo much better than z's stock.

Just as people say, very fun to drive

It is slower than the z but there are many details that feel much better designed than the z... really makes me want buying one!

I agree, the RF is tempting and so sexy, I wish Mazda made an RF Mazdaspeed with turbos at least 250hp then I'm in...or just bring back the RX7 damit!
