I'm excited. For both the Mazda version and whatever Fiat makes of it too.

Excited to see the new design. If it's anything like the renders, the ND is a pretty strong front runner as my FR-S replacement in a few years.

It's weird. I couldn't care less about the Miata and I'm at work, but I will be watching this for reasons I can't explain. Maybe I'm just hoping it's not better than the FRS.


Either way, I couldn't fit in a Miata to save my life.

I've always been optimistic that Mazda will get the important bits right (engine, suspension, price) but on the fence on styling, this makes me optimistic on the looks too, I just appreciate anything different:

http://jalopnik.com/the-first-outlin...-th-1630300425

'dem haunches.

My guesses:
~170 horses +/-5 horses
~2,400 lbs. +/-50lbs.
~$24,000 +/-$500 base price
And all the standard stuff, 6 speed gearbox, soft top, power hardtop to come with clearance for the broomstick test for track events, zero word on a coupe.

Only unknowns which could make a difference imo is styling details and whether or not it's N/A or Turbo. My money is on N/A.

Edit: Obligatory inline 4 engine, lots of 'SkyActiv' 'technology'.

I'm gonna go off on a wild guess/rumors and say there will be a choice of two engines. One NA for the purists, and one turbo for the heathens (like me!)

I am probably wrong, but I'd love a turbo.

I also would expect it to be better than the FRS/BRZ. Why wouldn't it be? It's a newer car.
