No they aren't. Definitely less room in the NB Miata.

Also, where the hell is the reveal? It's well after the time...

The NA had fewer miles than the NB lol.. I don't know, I've even read on Miata.net that the NB is a tighter fit.

Looks good.

serialk11r · 09-03-2014, 10:12 PM

Wow it looks pretty good. Now tell me what engine it has already.

Still hoping for an MR car but these will be nice to see on the road.

Seems like styling wise they took an NC and smushed it around to look more like an NB. Although I think there's little details there that will become more apparantly attractive as people get their hands on it.

Front wheel arches to place it into corners like the Toyobaru, less garish than the NC ones, door handles, dropped nose, looks like they managed to keep the cg low, I like the size of the nose although the shapes could be sculpted a little differently maybe.

No technical details = sad face.

Duran Duran is just filler, surprised the livestream numbers aren't dropping like a rock.

I've been in both within seconds of each other, it's the same... Only place that's "tighter" is because the doors have armrests making the width narrower. Legroom and headroom are the same.

dem00n · 09-03-2014, 10:16 PM

Looks just like what i expected it too.

Pretty.

Love the typical JDM rear end though.

How big are you? If you are under 200 lbs and 6' I can see how they might feel the same. Plenty of room. If you are on the larger side, as I am, they definitely don't feel the same. I can go out in my garage and sit in both within seconds of each other too. FWIW both my NA and NB Miata have armrests.

oustide of the front end i think i can deal with that. i hope its exactly what the miata has ever been. i dont think any car in the history of cars has had the conviction to remain the same moreso than the miata. i feel like we will be complaining about the frs in ten years about how heavy and powerful it has become. not so with the miata.

reni · 09-03-2014, 10:21 PM

Not really feeling the front end.... maybe it will grow on me
