Hey, Nissan, take note.


Sounds like Mazda knows what brings excitement to a car...and its not hybrid or CVT.

WOW thats surprising.

So I wonder if were going to be getting it here in the states? The article doesn't state if we will or not, I guess they haven't got to that point yet. But they did claim its going to be very emission friendly.

Less weight, less complexity, more driver involvement?

Will it still have a silly grin?

You have to admit, 300 potentially naturally aspirated horsepower from a 2.6L engine in a car that weighs a tad more than an MX-5 sounds like a good friggan time.

Would probably put a mildly tuned R32-R34 in its place considering the different power to weight ratios. I'm very curious to see where this is going.

The ND is also being co-developed with Alfa-Romeo with a 1.3T and weight around 2200 lbs. IT HAS COME FULL CIRCLE.
