I can't wait. Too bad I won't be able to see it live since I am going to be in at work. But I hope we see everything that was mentioned in the jalopnik article yesterday

We'll do it live!

In for disappointment, hope I'm wrong

BRZZZZZZZZZZ · 09-03-2014, 01:16 PM

This will likely be my replacement for my BRZ in a few years unless they disappoint me. Otherwise its a used Boxster for me.

IN only for Duran Duran.

The videoclip of my favorite Duran Duran's song features scantly clad women, cars and b00bies. NSFW:

Is it sad that the fact that the new Miata was coming out today was my first thought this morning? Like a kid waking up on Christmas

I wonder how many old guys are going to buy this car

Sport-Tech · 09-03-2014, 04:27 PM

The latest renders, which are quite close to the mark according to those in the know, are looking very very good. Gone is the old man's fuddy-fuddy Brit roadster look. The new PRHT should be far better integrated into the design, and there are rumours of a true coupe coming.

Personally given the climate here I am not much of a ragtop fan, but if the new PRHT offers better soundproofing than the old one I might be interested. Advantages I see over the twins:

- even lighter and more agile - in fact if the scuttlebut is true it could be 500 lbs lighter
- better sounding engine (a guess at this stage but it could scarcely be worse or more crude than the twins')
- more pleasant and upscale interior
- better build quality and reliability
- possibly more attractive design
- better manual transmission (based on past Miatas)

Of course it would be far less practical, but I can live with that. Hopefully they get the power to weight ratio right, at least matching the twins'.

I went from a NC to a BRZ... I wonder if I'll be headed to a ND some day.

Are you not going to get old?

juliog · 09-03-2014, 06:33 PM

An exciting all new Miata, plus winter around the corner = better deals on used S2000s?
