I thought Alfa Romeo had dropped out of this project and it was going to be released as a Fiat now? |
I feel bad for saying this, but the car looks like it has down syndrome. :/ |
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Specs Reportedly Leaked » AutoGuide.com News heres a little tie bit for future miata buyers! If this shit is true mazda better not fuck up the specs on the rx7/rx9!!!! |

I remember reading there might be two engines available for this Miata, the more powerful one being FI and probably heavier. The lower-powered engine is probably just so they can advertise the weight loss figure in the marketing. Edit: for 320icar: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...77ef9873043310 |
^ heavier? they're saying this Miata is 220 lbs lighter than previous gen. |
I can't believe it's lighter! That's rad. Although i'd like to see it with 150 RWP, it's still going to be a blast to drive no doubt. I'm glad they aren't trying to pack major HP into this package. The Miata has been successful as it is due to it being a fun, capable handling machine. Not a 1/4 mile monster. |
The North American will almost certainly have the 2.0L motor with between 160-180hp - Mazda has already said that North Americans want more power. As for the 1.5L I don't think it'd be that slow for the kind of car it is. 2200lbs and 128hp with a 6 speed probably means a 0-60 of 7-7.5secs. Not fast but suitable for this kind of car. |

Kinda like how advertising for condo developments will say 'Units starting from $199,999!' but really there is only one shitty studio in the whole development that is that price. I am totally speculating from a marketing standpoint, the 2.0 could realistically be the same or close in weight as the 1.5l. |

how much power? 0-60mph? |
I like that visually anyways it looks like a smaller car than prev gen. Also like the sloping hoodline, should be awesome for visibility and seeing the road. |
the rear needs a change and the front needs to be more aggresive. what a dud! |

I don't think they would even bother offering 1.5L version in the USA just for a sake of hitting 2,200 lb claim. Car enthusiasts are not that dumb and they will catch on that pretty quickly. Also did they completely re-design the 2.0L engine? The 2.0L engine might be bored-up 1.5L engine or the 1.5L engine might be the sleeved down 2.0L engine. I doubt Mazda will spend extra budget to completely re-design a new engine. Look at GM, LS1, LS2, LS3, LS7...although they are different in displacement/power/torque, their components are very similar and I heard that they don't weigh that much different either. I heard the same thing for Honda's K20, K24 etc... |
It's not just me that thinks that... Quote:
It is a different engine altogether, "similar to the one in the CX-5." |
Quote:
^It's a different engine. The 2.0L is already used in CX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda 6 |

I hope they're not doing the same thing. At least this time, it'll be aluminum block..right? |

What a waste of money. Could've lowered the development cost for sticking to 2.0L only. |
It says the 2.0L MX-5 will do 0-60mph in 6.5 sec (est.) and 1/4 mile in 15.0 sec (est.) Finally catching up to the 1st gen Porsche Boxster 1997 Porsche Boxster 2.5L Flat-6, 201hp, 188lb-ft 0-60mph: 6.1 sec 1/4 mile: 14.7 sec http://www.mynrma.com.au/media/porsche_boxster_1997.jpg |
Might be apples and oranges But say someone was nearing a midlife crisis. 2016 MX-5 or a used S2000? |
