Could you get that information for me? I live just 2 1/2 hours away from Richmond. I would go up there for that!

Then again, other dealerships probably wouldn't honor the warranty

1991 Miata NA: 2100 lbs / 116 hp
1998 Miata NB: 2350 lbs / 140 hp
2006 Miata NC: 2447 lbs / 167 hp

Only now is Mazda bucking the trend with the ND, fighting the trend of heavier cars and more hp.

Pretty much every car follows this trend, from Accords and Mazda 6's to BMW 3 series, etc.
It's true. They usualyl get fatter and fatter and then just move that model up to the next segment and slot another one in at the bottom. The ford Fusion is now the size a Taurus used to be. I swear the present 3-series is bigger than the e39 5-series of just a few years ago.

I saw a 350z parked next to a 240z when they first came out. It looked like the 350 could have eaten the 240 is a single bite.
