Whatever happened to Miata camaraderie?

[GordonJ]

Seriously, how could anyone not recognize the new Miata? The styling is so derivative of previous generations, it's immediately recognizable even if you were seeing one for the first time.

I think you'd be surprised...

I've had probably a dozen or more comments from people...almost all of them start something like "Nice car! What is it?"

Of course, they're not Miata drivers...but still....

i get waves from almost every car that is yellow.... most msp's try to race me when i catch up to them... and then i wave when i beat them... lol

I wave, but I usually only get waves back from NB owners, and then only about half the time.

The NC owners I see never wave.

most miata owners know each other in nicosia (my hometown) so yes i wave and i have 90% response.

I saw my first red NC on the road today. It was a younger looking girl (she was actually pretty cute), we passed each other head on and I waved pretty clearly. Nothing. Thats only like the 3rd NC I've seen since owning mine, too.

Not to sound sexist, but I've given up on waving to chick drivers. They're either always on a cell, or just don't notice.

Or they think we are hitting on them

I told my Girlfriend about the Miata-Wave. However, she has a hard time telling which car is which (she doesnt really care as long as they are fast enough) so she waves to anything she thinks might be a Miata (boxters, Z3s, Z4s, Miatas and S2000s). They ALL wave back to her.
