My Car & Driver was touting these shots as spy photos of the next generation Miata. Looks like a bad body kit on a stock Miata to me.....What do you kids think??

Looks RX-8'ish...I'm sure some of it is camoflauge.
Looks like a RX8 mated with an S2000 and this was their ugly love child.
Old news... you guys need to stop by the pointy board more often, or subscribe to a more up-to-date periodical (I suggest Autoweek). :PQuote:

Gee sorry Altiain didn't mean to bother you with old news........ :roll:Quote:

I'm not saying I'd like to see that resemblance, but it wouldn't surprise me...
If its a Mule, then it shouldn't be able to reproduce. :shock:
Lets hope, as it is Fugly :thumbdow:
Supposedly Mazda is not planning on introducing much "family resemblance" in the next miata, as they recognize that the Miata has a strong heritage and following that is completely separate from the fact that it is a Mazda.
However, who knows? There were plenty of people (myself included) who never believed there would be a factory turbocharged NB. Look how right we were. :scratch:
Looks like the front wheels are kinda a bit too skiny also.

That's probably a side-effect of having RX-8 fenders glued on to it...Quote:

Supposedly the next NSX. Looks kinda weird, if you ask me. Here are some of the pics of the concept car that supposedly shows what the next NSX is going to look like:Quote:

Hay I like the looks of the Honda. You think they will sell it in the Miata price range? Yea I am dreaming. They could put some nicer looking wheels on the car.
Yet another picture from a magazine.

That is one fugly little tangerine jellybean. Blech. :puker:
Yep, I'd have to agree with altiain. They took the sinuous, classic lines of the current Miata, and turned them into an uninspiring, ubiquitous, blob. :shaking:
Fortunately, that picture probably has as much in common with the real NC as that picture that POS Racing used in the first post of this thread.
To me, the scary part is the retractable hardtop in the inset picture... kiss what little trunk space it has goodbye to fit that thing in...
Looking at the orange blob, I see the NB surfboard seats, M1 door handles, and what look like MSM wheels. :dunno:
There will be a choice of tops and larger interior according to this news site.
i do think that the m1 interior feels bigger than the m2, from both the drivers and passengers seat. but thats me.
