When you sit in the ND, you cannot even see the hood. You can see the fender bulges which helps you tell where the corners are.

The wheel arches are high but the hood is low. That is because all the mechanicals are snuggled down in between those relatively large 16 and 17 inch wheels and tires.

Actually the whole car is low and once it is dropped an inch or so to close up the wheel gap it will really look like a ground hugger.

Looks amazing! Has price come out yet? I hated the exterior when it first leaked but it's definitely growing on me!

Uh, no it's not to a lot of people. It's a subjective matter. We get your point though, you've said it a lot of times already in this thread. LOL

To be clear, it's ugly. Factually ugly.

I respectfully disagree. I think it is the best looking MX-5 yet. Of course, I have come to like the looks of my car. So who am I to judge?

It is the best looking mx-5, but have you seen it in person?

Saying it's the best looking MX-5 is like getting the least moldy blueberry. Not appealing, and I like blueberries.
