Nice eye. Sometimes I get regurgitated news and don’t realize it is old. Probably a good thing they do that, so I can see things I missed. It would be nice if news feed sites, streams and apps made the original date of the event more apparent.

Not sure why that's important, I had not read the report before and i'm sure a number of members had not seen this or a billion other articles that might be of interest.

If someone has the original link to the discovery of the wheel, please post, I would like to read it.

The information in the article originally came from Autocar which is a notorious clickbait site. The article also says the car could be released as early as 2017. I'm not saying it will never be made, but don't you think we would start seeing some mules driving around in the near future? I wonder if Fiat is even selling enough cars in the US to justify making this car?


Post whatever articles you want, I'm just trying to point out facts so people don't keep holding their breath over internet rumors.

Whoa - I like that. Wonder if it has the same vertical rear window as the Miata RF w/ flying buttresses, or if it's a 'real' fastback? If it's the real deal, then I'd consider this as an alternative the the SF-R, which apparently is never going to happen.

Well, considering it is a Miata with the exception of body panels that are hard to mess up and the engine, that probably hardly matters at all.

That's engine and powertrain, there's a lot more to reliability. There aren't enough on the road to see yet but FCG will fuck this up. Past performance is a very good indication of future failures. Warranty coverage, customer service, etc all are part of the equation and if you ignore all that, you are a moron. Yes, with a Mazda engine and powertrain it has a head start on other FCG garbage but you have to look at the whole picture.
