looks really good all upscale like

very very nice. I would go for a version that would be as stripped as possible, meaning no extra toys just pure drive....
Yeah miata has grown and has changed, but maaan she is preatty. Let's see how she does on a skidpad....

mmm...maybe it'll grow on me.

Looks pretty good! I'm a big fan of the current generation miata, just because they are so freaking fun to drive. I almost got one in high school until my girlfriend at the time kicked my ass and made me realize how impractical it was. Mazda's stepping it up so hardcore with its new interiors too, i freaking love it.

yawn - recessed headlights are lame

Not as good as the MSM 0.96g

well we shall see. Hopefully there will be a mazdaspeed version of this baby....
Mazda interior designers need an award. They've been coming up with some of the sexiest interiors out there. I want to buy it just looking at the needles pointing down directly. Nice retro touch. (i know they have in it mazda3).
But man their interiors are starting to look as sexy as some of the Alfa romeo interiors. Very very sexy

 

[tyusha]

Just to compare mazda to alfa (sounds kinda ridiculous i know). But before now, Alfa was my benchmark for judging interiors...

But def. mazda interiors are starting to be comparable to some of the most sophysticated ones on the market which is AWESOME

They went to the RX-8-derived multilink rear suspension, I wonder how that compares in performance to the double wishbones the Miata is so loved for. Any suspension experts care to chime in?

 

[tyusha]

I am no expert but i think it is impossible to say untill the testdrive. It really depends on the geometry of the car as a whole, i think

 

[KpaBap]

Well that's true, I was just wondering if someone knew the pros and cons of each, and really mostly concerned with camber control and curves.
