Looks RX-8'ish...I'm sure some of it is camoflauge.
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 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). :POriginally Posted by POS Racing
It's an NC alright - an NC chassis mule wearing stock RX-8 front sheetmetal and stock NB rear sheetmetal that has been "massaged" to fit. The next Miata ain't gonna look nothing like it.

Gee sorry Altiain didn't mean to bother you with old news........Originally Posted by altiain
I'm sure it's a mule... chassis and moter with a bunch of random body parts tacked on. But it wouldn't surprise me to see the NC resemble the RX8, particularly in the nose. It would be one of those "family resemblance" things that car manufactures seem to favor.
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.
Lets hope, as it is Fugly
'08 Copper Red GT PRHT, '06 Accord EXL, '05 Dodge Magnum R/T, '01 V8 Dakota for pulling 2135 Chaparral.
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.

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...Originally Posted by Miatamaniac92

Heck with the Miata. What is that red Honda?
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:Originally Posted by general default

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.
That is one fugly little tangerine jellybean. Blech.
