That looks great!

Front end looks like they smushed a S2K and a BRZ together. It's quite Fiat-y too.

This one finally removes all that chick car smell. The last gen already butched up a little.

RE-Jo 09-03-2014 05:25 PM

The car looks wonderful! Can't wait till actual review of the car! So proud of Mazda!

LP700-4 09-03-2014 05:28 PM

Looks like a Z4 now, not a bad thing but it almost feels like the typical miata happy bubbly look is missing

noclue 09-03-2014 05:29 PM

damn they still have the smiley face front bumper although toned down.
taillights reminds me of the previous generation Z4. Needs dual exhausts IMO
Side and interior looks great!

is350 09-03-2014 05:29 PM

really? did you guys check out the back end on mazda.com? It looks ugly on the back side, the circular brake light wow...

Energy 09-03-2014 05:30 PM

Wow, that looks great! What is the power going to be like?

OGCStrike 09-03-2014 05:31 PM

surprised that they went back to 4 lug wheels :suspicious:

noclue 09-03-2014 05:32 PM

yeah back is kinda weird but I like it it's the closest thing we're going to get to a modern day S2000.

tonyzoomzoom 09-03-2014 05:35 PM

They must have stripped out a lot of weight to make that doable. The rumours were always that they were aiming to get down to 2,200 lbs or so and the 4 lugs suggest that they trimmed a lot of things to get there.

Side really looks like a Z3/Z4. Its definitely lost that "roundness" though, not sure how I feel about that.

flagella 09-03-2014 05:50 PM

I'm gonna have to say, S2000 got it right from the beginning in terms of the look.

Not sure how I feel about this new Miata. Part of me sort of likes it. I guess it's good that at least Mazda is continuing with Miata while Honda axed S2000.

Now where are the specs motherfucker!

Ronin 09-03-2014 05:51 PM

Roundness? Good. That was the only thing keeping it from being a truly great car. It was never very good looking...just okay looking enough to not detract from the fact that it's a fantastic sports car. Now it looks good and hopefully it'll be good to drive as well.

Please tell me that screen disappears into the dash and doesn't stay there, a la Mercedes...

SeedBNR 09-03-2014 06:02 PM

My god it looks awful..

it looks like the same one found in the current gen Mazda3, therefore I doubt it'll go in/rise from the dash

nsx042003 09-03-2014 06:14 PM

I'm such a honda fanboy, i think i'll still hunt down a s2000 instead

Ronin 09-03-2014 06:19 PM

Seriously how much more expensive could an Audi-esque poppy uppy screen be to manufacturer compared to a weird looking bolt on afterthought?

Maliuz 09-03-2014 06:35 PM

Hell, just make it manual lift/close for the screen and I'd be happy.

yray 09-03-2014 07:00 PM

I wonder hows the screen gonna be like with the top down :troll:

multicartual 09-03-2014 07:15 PM

Needs more 302+T5

Nabatron 09-03-2014 07:25 PM

Have they even released the specs yet?

hud 91gt 09-03-2014 07:25 PM

Nailed it.
