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

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...

Nice car. Best overall sportscar value in the world!

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

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.

They need to fix that face..
