Put the joke on the side, it's interesting to see that, they're planning to make convertible. iirc, while back, I was talking bout if they gonna make convertible or not

i actually like the hot hatch idea, lines flow well, and would brind over madzda3 speed guys...

I am a mazdaspeed guy, I'm already here.

A hatch would be awesome though, in terms of having a practical fun car.

Not sure I'd pick an FRS vert over a miata, since this car wasn't designed as a vert first, and thus would be even more heavy than the elemental miata.

I'll take one targa please.

Except Steering wheel, seat and pedals

The vert will look great.

am i the only one that thinks rear seats ruin a roadster's looks? 2 seat roadsters look much better, but not practical enough for me. i miss my s2k, but i don't miss the lack of rear seats, lack of any kind of luggage space, or the factory defect that puts tears in the softop that honda wouldn't pay to fix.

Levi · 03-01-2012, 03:55 PM

For me it is a bad news. It is just because the MX-5 and the S2000 are roadsters I am not interested to own any. Gald Porsche has the Cayman and not only the Boxster, unlike BMW that has only a Z4 Roadster.

Kuzuri · 03-01-2012, 03:56 PM

the hatch is actually a good idea too... what other hatchback cars are rear-drive in this price range? i cant think of any.... WRX is AWD, Mazda hatches are FWD...

jamboa · 03-01-2012, 04:05 PM

panoramic roof. Convertible only if it has easy hard top convert like the Miata!

If they don't release a targa package by the last year of the first gen, I'll make sure I do a diy.

86'd · 03-01-2012, 04:12 PM

I never wanted a convertible and if I did I would most likely buy another S2000.

The convertible folded would either take up the back seats, or severely reduce the trunk space.

The draw for the FRS/BRZ for me is the semblance of practicality.

But I can see this car being very popular if marketed right.
