No OFFICIAL word on whether Stevan will work on the ND. :DQuote:

I was at the event at Laguna and even though the various Mazda presenters were asked many times in all sorts of ways, they could not disclose any technical details yet (engine, suspension, weight, etc).Quote:

Yeah, that's the rub of Marketing. You want to create buzz, but yet you can't cannibalize existing sales... and they probably haven't made all the last minute decisions yet.Quote:

Somebody even asked, "When will you be able to tell us what you can't tell us now?" The poor guy had to answer, "i'm sorry, but I'm not even allowed to tell you that." I'm sure some of the final spec is yet to be determined, especially option packages and pricing. Dave Coleman acknowledged that one of their biggest challenges with a redesign of the Miata was to keep from screwing it up. They fully realize what a great thing it is and want to improve it, not lose what they've created so far.
Oh boy 14.1 power to weight ratio...yipee!
Was hoping for 230hp turbocharged, 28 MPG highway.
You can do that, just like the Elise, but you still have to drive it right to win. :)Quote:

I'll keep that in mind when I run into your HS Mini at ECR next time ;) Don't hit me.Quote:

Won't be a Godzilla, it will be about 8 seconds a lap faster than Godzilla and completely analog.Quote:

Talked with Mazda today at the Paris Auto Show and they gave me one of the 25th anniversary paperback books they were handing out to the press. :)
They said it will be a choice of engines: 1.5L or 2.0L and the soft top will be available in the US in September of 2015, hard top in December 2015.
It's a beautiful car in person! Love it, but since it was on the rotating platform, nobody could sit in it for pictures.
I put pics up on my FB page... Security settings limit it to friends though.
You can change your security settings for each picture to make them public, you know.
Or even better, post them here!
^this
I'll post some here after I get to Barcelona. I have a conference call with a customer in less than 20 minutes then have to run to CDG to catch my flight.
Pics... All low res. I have 16MP versions on my PC though.
Thanks! Amazing how much the front looks like Jaguar.
What is that bright aluminum "C" clamp looking part at the base of the front spring? Does the sway bar attach to that? Pic M7
It looks like that is the stand supporting the chassis (pic M9)Quote:
