awesome.

 

[uclap5]

i approve. im glad they didnt rx-8itize it, and let it evolve as its own design. besides the tails...

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

looks damn sexy

 

[vindication]

I dont know...It looks too round, especially the front bumper. interior is hawt and the rear sans the lights is lookin good too.

 

[Matthew]

id hit it.

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

Looks ******* sweet. I like how it didn't look as RX-8ish as was originally revealed, but rather a MX-5/RX-8 mutation of blissful balance seems to have been created here. I can't wait to see one in person.

 

[Protege52003]

looks nice......me like it!

 

[vodapas77]

Hmm,

I think it's gonna need to grow on me. At this point I still like the 2nd gen. better. But, then again I didn't like the 2nd gens when they first arrived on the lots. Still, props to Mazda for a unique design that doesn't look any other model they make. (Well, except for the damn tail lights.)

is this the new longer chasis?? maybe Ill fit in this car finally. Any word yet on powertrains? I heard rumor of a "GT" version with renesis engine...i'd buy it in a heartbeat

 

[peepsalot]

What's NC?

 

[Super Matty P]

chasis code for the next miata.....kinda like proteges are the BG, BF BJ, etc.

Wow, i never heard of that. I know my engine code. What is the chassis code for the MSP?

 

[NorwegianMX-5]

jeezuss..it's sooo awesome, awesome.. (drinks)

"BJ"...hopefully you understand why it is rarely referred to in that way...

and Matty, I heard the Renesis notion was only a weak rumor at best, and that the true performance model will get a version of the 6s' V6...with well over 200bhp...

The big word about the Renesis is the upcoming RX-7...which fits in size between the new MX-5 and RX-8..but has 300+bhp from a turbo'd renesis supposedly...but I have only seen spy shots of that in R&T...nothing actually released yet...

and also the new base MX-5 is slated to be cheaper...and the base engine now has a "real" 160bhp (from the 2.3L I-4 powering the 3s), rather than the 1.8L that never really made what Mazda claimed it did...

 

[Gaboost]

That looks really good, like an evolution of the nb. Hopefully it didn't gain too much weight. Mazda needed this to compete with the upcoming Pontiac Solstice and others on the way.

 

[Pitlab77]

thats been on the miata forum for a couple of days. I can say I am glad I have a 1st gen. And i do not think I will look past the 2nd gen for the body. That is truely horrible and a departure from what i think of when i think miata (mx5).

it is suppose to come with a 2.0lt motor making 170hp and 13X Tq

 

[Antoine]

(cool) This is getting more exciting...as Mazda rejuvenates it's entire line with true ZOOM ZOOM spirit!

 

[RobMP5]

Look familiar???

Here's a comparison of the three "generations", posted by a friend of mine.
