181HP 2019 Miata?

https://jalopnik.com/the-2019-mazda-...rse-1823432715

Quote:
The 2019 Miata may get some fiercer power numbers to back up its fierce looks, according to recent U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents found by Road & Track. The documents suggest the Miata could go from 155 to 181 horsepower next model year, a huge jump for a car that small.

TBH, I still wouldn't be interested. Not being a Fanboy, but I bought the BRZ over the Miata for practicality reasons. I see the BRZ as a Miata for people who want to daily it and/or use it year-round as an only vehicle.

I would be much more inclined to buy a Miata if this was a weekend/summer toy.

My favorite Miata is still the 04-05 Mazdaspeed; only had 170 bhp but was still a blast to drive.

Heaviest miata they made. Better off with almost any other miata imo.

They definitely could with their newer, higher-compression motors.
