Anyone else think its starting to look like the latest MX5 with a hard top?

well, this is a concentrated representation of the same car in 3d and optimized to remove padding, so uh...

and if you draw an mx5 on a picture of the fr-s mule, then of course it'll be an mx5

Looking like a fugly, fugly car is definitely a bad thing. Sorry.

Yes the hood line is more similar to geneva version. Remove the chrome insert in the upper gaurd but keep the duct.

I didnt draw an MX5 though so dont be so pedantic. I made a simple comment based on the angle of that particular picture after i poorly worked on it in photoshop - not the one you posted up.

So Much hate for the miata coupe

its a great little car! And with the added rigidity of the roof I'm sure its even better to drive!

WingsofWar · 09-09-2011, 07:28 PM

i love the miata

but there is just something so wrong about a non-roadster Miata in my head.

Cool. I thought I saw that in the spy photos but I couldn't tell if it was a duct or just something covered up with a black sticker.

Looks good to me. Only thing I would say needs a little tweaking is the back shoulder area. I would say there is a little more definition between the curve of the roof line and the "hip" area. It is a little too smoothed over in this model.

We dont necessarily hate the car, we just hate the styling.

I agree with you on that. It's too smoothed out, I'd like a nicer curve on it and the back end on this model is umm interesting to say the least. Not sure I'm in love with it but I doubt the production model will be anything like it.

I thought all miatas had the option for roadster.
