Yeah I agree. 220 lbs lighter, wider, lower, stiffer. That's the important part, and impressive that Mazda appears to be delivering on its promise.

The looks are the icing on the cake, although while the ND looks good, the Twins look better polished to me.

Now Mazda just needs to deliver on the driving aspect (which their track record indicates they will), and create a lightweight coupe version to compete with the Twins.

Of all the manufacturers, I think Mazda and Honda are the best positioned to put out a lightweight coupe that can compete with the FR-S/BRZ.
