Nothing from the Tokyo or LA special reveal or test drive reports mention it. You would think if it was there it would be mentioned?

It seems like everyone in on the production of this car is trying to take credit for everything lol. If we hear anything about Yamaha's involvement it will have to come from Yamaha directly.

There's that 1,000 per year thing again O.O

It would be awesome if they do an episode with all 3 versions of the car. Jermey would get the GT86, James the BRZ and Richard the FR-S.

They kept saying the styling is too plain

what you think of that Hachi? I mean your one of the few who saw this in real life, I want to know what you think.

This confuses me too. I like the styling. Cars from the oughties were too busy. This is like a throwback to the much better looking Japanese sports cars from the 90s.

Always intriguing what Top Gear has to say..

Hammond has a serious hard on for this car. Pretty sure he'll review it. Maybe they will get both a GT86 and a BRZ at the same time and both Hammond and Clarkson will have a go?

i doubt top gear will review both cars. theyre exactly the same driving-wise. best chance of both cars on the show is having them both in the hangar. then again they both are literally twins on the exterior so i cant see that being too likely. it'll be too redundant for them.

that being said, i hope JC reviews the car. hammond and may's reviews are usually boring compared to jezza's

Hammond is the only one that will fit in the car, so better he than Clarkson

Clarkson has been in the Miata. He was even in a second gen Miata in the Middle East special.

He'll fit.

So much Déjà vu...

Reads like an RX-8 review

Hehehe yeah.

Hopefully, 3 years down the line, the engine doesn't have the same rep. Mine is getting awfully close to 100k miles, and I get worried when I take it on a long road trip to my parents' house in Missouri.

this but he will no doubt make some wisecrack about not being able to get in/out correctly. frankly i like jezza's reviews simply because hes my height. so i can get a realistic idea of how the fit is, if i didnt know beforehand

This car really is a smaller, less practical RX-8 that gets better gas mileage. Put another way, it's a Miata 2+2 coupe. I will miss the feel of the rotary engine though...
