This is the NC (third-gen) Miata, which seems a little spiritually empty to me. The interior is beautiful, but the exterior seems too geometric and uninspired. I prefer the Saturn Sky.

Re: (Jesda)
I love that gauge cluster...looks just like the one in the Maxima and Z.
You know...I've always wondered why, on symmetrical gauge clusters like that, the needles don't rotate opposite directions. That'd look a lot better.

its not the best, however it looks a lot better than the concept they showed that everyone was thinking would become the next one

jesda when you get one you can come auto-x ing! haha that sounds funny, for some reason i cant imagine jesda at an autocross

Dude, I've seen a Q do auto-x. It's intense. And sideways.Mr1der wrote:hell...I'd put the Q in one...that'd be comedy.

For clarification, this link contains footage of a ride-along of 5 people aut-crossing in a Q on a closed course.Rex wrote:Take a look at this zerothread?id=103946
It actually is bigger than the second gen. Really big Americans complained, and Mazda responded. God damn it, thats why there's Sebrings and Mustangs!Actually, that might explain why Mazda responded. Argh. Compromise always has a downside. Fortunately, the power to weight ratio is improved -- should be on par with the Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice.
I like the first (NA) Miata myself. A subtle body kit gives it enough edge while still looking like the Lotus Elan. I could go for an NB too, but its way out of my tiny budget.

Re: (Mr1der)
I was hoping the NC would have the sharp edges and contrasting curves of the 3, 6 and RX-8 -- the new "face" of Mazda. I saw some really slick photoshops of such a thing.
