    I like it it looks a bit "meaner" that the current MX5.

    I like it!

    Looks similar to an S2000 to me.

    Hmm... I doubt Mazda's official dealer literature has "Super scoop!" written on it anywhere.

    This is just some Japanese graphic artist's idea of what a mid-cycle refresh would look like.

    The magazine it is from is the one that was 95% correct on their original NC rendering. It seems they get inside information.

    Looks like some wasted grill space there; that black solid band across the top.

    You mean the easy, low-strung one that likes to play rough?





    ...and if you squint just right after a few beers, I bet she don't look so bad.

    I like the first NC's myself. I think it's a simpler, cleaner design.

    It is meaner and more aggressive looking. I am keeping my changes in my pocket until they redo the sheet metal! There is only so much you can do with a bar of soap!

    The current grille is the same way......
    What I liked was the interior picture, with a back seat and A-pillars that look suspiciously like a sedan!

    The interior pic is from an '09 RX-8. I think the OP was trying to suggest that the Recaros from the new RX-8 RS package would be available in the MX-5 as well.
