If you're thinking Elan, that falls into the classic British Roadster category from which it was built to modernize. It wasn't in any way styled after one though.



This is conflicting. The ND is completely new, nothing taken or re-imagined from previous models. It's all original.
Correction, might have been Lotus Elan. Even taillight design copied on original Miata. I guess it was Mazda's marketing strategy. Who cares anyway, the Miata is not a vehicle I'd buy. Don't like Mazda.
