Much better than the outgoing model (tailights aside). I always thought the Miata looked too feminine... I hope they beefed up the performance along with the styling.

[A_3]

I kind of like it, I liked the last gen as well but before that :thumbsdow , the tail lights are :barf: but other then that :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[vietdood]

when i first looked at the person driving that car, it hought it was a girl haha

[streetarab]

:thumbsdow :thumbsdow ill take a current production mx5 thank you, i think this one looks like ass

[Kamen]

The guy driving looks like he was pasted in :rofl: :rofl:

It resembles the RX8 too much I think. I think prefer the concept one down a few threads.
Not saying this one is bad though. Looks abit wider than the previous ones.

[Maxt]

Hmm so what exactly does "So farht der mx-5" mean...:)..

I kinda like the second gen of the miata, it had a little of the "fd" influence in it, this new one is a little to rx-8 for me...Maxt

[BlueGoblin]

I suppose just scaling the rx-8's sheetmetal down to fit was easier and cheaper than hiring a designer....

[mo_virgin]

So will there be a rotary option?

[thich]

ACTUALLY, the general consensus on miataforum.net is that the pic is a photoshop.

it MIGHT be the real one, but we won't know until the Geneva Auto show

--

there is no plan for a rotary option since there are rumors of a convertible rx7

[GQBalla]

looks pretty nice!:tongue:

[habsfan]

overall looks pretty good, back is nice save for the taillights. but the front end...holy paste an rx8 front on. i hope this isnt the production version, that front needs to go

Yeah, i read that some people think its a photoshop and that it's common practice for some euro mags to make shit up (the National Enquirer of car mags). If that's the case sorry for making another BS post about the "new miata" lol.

[finboy]

HUUH :barf:

[SSenDam]

not a big fan of that hood... not at all.

[1badPT]

I don't like the back end so much but other than that I think its alright...

[Kamen]

The rear lights don't even match up :rofl:

[joseph]

:rofl: :rofl: The guy driving looks like a 3-D dummy

[Newk]

Damn, Mazda was so close to makeing their syling less bland and bearable, and then this, sure hope it's a chop. i personaly like the first and second gen miata's.:barf: :barf:

[thich]

It is a chop.
Beyond the spy pics of the new mx5 that is heavily disguised being test driven at the track, there are no real confirmed pics of the mx5 yet.

The Geneva Auto Show is only a few weeks away, then we'll get to see the real deal there :thumbsup:

I would love to see what the next Miata will offer.

Especially that now that GM has the upcoming Soltice and Sky that trumps it in every way.

[JordanLotoski]

looks better then the current model, but, IMO its a car for a cute girl...

[GTS Jeff]

the usdm versions will probably get blackhoused taillights. mazdas abroad usually get the chromed ones..

I dun think the Sky will come close to trumping the MX5; the Solstice... mebbe, but it seems heavy so I dun think it will be much of a contender.

[hyperwhite]

^^^aren't both cars exactly the same except for the sheet metal

[Newk]

^^ Yea, thats what I've been led to believe too.

[cycosis]

ugly, too much rx8

[three.eighteen.]

i have a feeling the miata will change to reflect that new mazda look, sharp headlights, teardrop rears..but hopefully itll be a bit nicer than that

[dkny_stylez]

look at those tailights:barf:

[90Tegra]

that looks just like an rx8 and that for sure isn't the new miata
