Thank you Mazda

Meh, I could care less.

Mouse 11-02-2009 05:37 PM

I'll take my S over a Miata any day of the week.

You have to wonder how many sells were because of the "cute little convertible" part and not the "sports" part.

That said, it has been the perfect choice for anyone wanting to do SCCA racing.

What I know is that a lot of people(that know about cars)respect the miata and the ones that call it gay just don't understand it(miata).

The miata revived the TRUE sports car segment alone. Without the miata a lot of cars probably would not have been conceived....Including the s2000.

DanZilla 11-02-2009 05:57 PM

should be an interesting car to keep my eye on

I hope this is true. I believe Motor Trend about as much as I would politicians during an election campaign (or any other time, for that matter).

Unnamed source? Bah!

I never called it gay and yes, probably without the Miata the S might not exist. That doesn't change the fact that I'd rather have my S over a Miata.

I know you didn't call it gay but we all know the preconceived notions that go along with that car....And the movie "Corky Romano" didn't help it either.

nice, but Mazda needs to ditch the Smiley Lower grille
