I think if the FT86 was upgraded in the same manner that the ND MX-5 is, it would be a very very sweet ride. Not that it isn't already, but I will admit the Mazda outshines it right now and I suspect purely due to Mazda keeping up with the times while the FT86 is being lazy in updates. |
Keep up with the times? Have you ever looked at the history of the Miata? It has fallen behind the times more than many car on the market. It goes almost unchanged for many years and then gets an upgrade. You are focused on one change that many said was decades late. The Twins have been around for all of 6 years. Lets wait and see what the Twins update is at the 30 year mark before we start saying that they have been upgraded in the same manner. Be interesting to know (and we never will) just how much impact the Twins had in the Mazda receiving the update it did. If they didn't exist would the Miata have just carried on with it's minor updates every 6 years or so?
