It seemed like they believed the BRZ with its utility davantage was better suited for their needs, but agreed the Miata was better for fun possibly. |

Interesting the slight snippets they put under first and second place. if its a daily driver; brz is the toy. Other than that the miata has done it again.

I still don't really feel the urge to trade in for the ND, although I might consider it if Mazda released a coupe (or a track-approved roll bar option). Listening Mazda? The more I think about it, the car that will likely replace my FR-S one day is the new 1LE Camaro SS. Or possibly a used C7. I quoted it in my post

I hope this makes someone scratch an itch to get the ND, and puts up their NA2 or NB on sale so I can afford one....

I have trouble understanding how so much of our society views small cars as toys. I realize I'm in the minority here (at least in the U.S.), but the BRZ is my only car. I use it for track days, biking, skiing, road trips, etc. I don't have any problem with lack of space. I'm married, but don't have kids.

Need the practicality for picking up my son and doing the weekly grocery shopping while having a decent ride back and forth along the highway and track time when I can get it.
86 for me... Now, if you want a track car only, which I cannot afford right now...the game changes...

Really happy to see that Mazda brought their A-game and that stock for stock the ND gives the 86 a run for it's money, the next few years will be fun.
I highly doubt anybody at Toyobaru is scrambling to get an update out, they have a brother not a competitor, I posted as such in the ND thread, MT's ranking makes perfect sense imo, different cars with a different purpose and a different set of compromises. “Yet when I meet up with rival sports car chief engineers (and we do at various times around the world), we all talk about what we call the Devil’s Cycle of ever-increasing power, speed, weight and price." -Tetsuya Tada Source Edit: A larger displacement engine would incur additional taxation and fees in most markets, it would likely be a U.S. special which of course means higher prices as they must go through all the engineering work testing and certification to make it work, and with the increased cost you better increase the amenities to match the price which means you get a weight increase which means it got slower which means you better add more power and then oh no the price went up again... And you get an M3 "sports car" that weighs 3,500 lbs. |
