[WASABI]

I am really impressed. Wonderful interpretation of the original, with an updated design direction.

That looks tough!

[tsingson]

I really like it. I think I may have to make the plunge in a couple of years.

[SM16RMSM]

It looks mean. I might put the Mazdaspeed up and just skip the plans for the V6 swap and buy it.

[Silver92B]

It looked like crap in the video......

[Phatmiata]

waits for Japanese aftermarket ..................... :popcorn:

[Hyper]

Oh Lord. What a fucking awesome car! I am buying one!!

[Phatmiata]

looks good from this angle........

[Johnnie]

I think I'm going to like it. Can't wait to learn more.

[fwdtamiya]

Praying they figure out something for both those bumpers. Who wants to do the inevitable rocket bunny photoshop?

Actually 86 conversion would be very easy with that front bumper. Steal Toyotas fanbase :lol:

[Phatmiata]

I imagine a TON of NC, and NBs up for sale soon :teehee:

[curvingedge]

Oh yeah, I agree fully!

I might be up to trade my mazdaspeed3... Ill find a clunker to drive my kids around! lol

[johnfett]

sexy car for sure!

[SM16RMSM]

I was expecting something uglier but it actually looks really good. I can't wait to see what the specs are.

[Willywongka]

I love everything about it, except for the rear... not feeling the rear lights.

[Tkblazer]

That's a beautiful car...out of my price range at the moment but I'm hoping to get an nc maybe this winter

[drv2fst]

This will put the roadster over the 1,000,000 mark.
I like it.

[revlimiter]

Whoa. Top up = hotness too!

Love this car.

[speedypenguin]

I like what I see. Very much.

[Agent☣Orange]

Needs bikini chicks washing it.

[Jimmy Vee]

Can anyone tell if they are 4x100 or 4x114?

lol, Garage Vary tail light conversion ND.... lol

[Tkblazer]

Soul red with 16x8 gold advan rg's

It looks 4x100 to me

[94R]

when the latest renderings of what it may look like started popping up on the internet before the reveal, I was already thinking to myself... "Why steal the FR'S headlights?". They should have come up with their own unique design. I don't know, I can't form an opinion on it right now. I like parts of the car, but I'm not sold on the front end w/ the copied FRS headlights.

[Dandy]

This will put the roadster over the 1,000,000 mark.
I like it.

Yes, i think this is going to be a popular car. Mazda can live to design another day.

[kulluminati777]

This new miata looks fantastic. I cant wait to see it in person

[Agent☣Orange]

This will put the roadster over the 1,000,000 mark.
I like it.

With 22 million VW Beetles made as of 2003, I think Mazda can finally break the almost unnoticeable millionth-car mark sometime soon.

[psulja]

Tach in the middle makes me so happy.

I'll probably seriously start looking at picking one up around 6-12 months after release.

[Golden Stallion]

I see some rx8 in those headlights. I see how they are easily "frs lights" but it looks like pre face lift jdm rx8 with an eyelid over it:shrug:

[fwdtamiya]

I expect at least 3 bumper changes until this is fixed.

[riefdaddy]

I don't know. I like the middle, but the front and the rear aren't too attractive to me. The front is very odd looking and I do not like the large Mazda emblem. The back... yeah... I can't find too many positive things to say about it. I'm thinking it will look better in person when I can appreciate the curves, but that trunk doesn't look practical. (not that any Miata trunk is practical) I don't want custom luggage for a weekend trip.

[Sean5294]

Hopefully they gave this one some decent power.

KAL to the rescue. Ugly bumper still exists unfortunately.

Those are actually lovely.

Looks kinda like the pod on the left is fully electronic. I don't think those are real needles on the fuel and temp gauges.

17 inch wheel model

[Phatmiata]

why is there a miniature passenger plane flying across the front bumper Garrett ??? :shock:

[RotorNutFD3S]

I think he's saying that area is so large and flat you could land a plane on it. Maybe?

[revlimiter]

With all the apparent brake room on the 16" wheel model, it doesn't look like 15s would be hard to fit.

It's as RotorNut says :lol:

I don't think these were posted yet... http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2016-mazda-mx-5-miata-reveal/full/#photo-2900140

[tsingson]

I am like 90% sold on it.

[riefdaddy]

http://www.mazda.com/stories/craftmanship/mx-5/mx-5_25th/movie_photo/

Get your OH-fficial ND wallpaper here. :)

[Sharpie]

The wheels freak me out. They trick my eyes. If I look wrong they look like 4 quadrilaterals coming together. If I look at them right, they look sort of like a modern set of dailies.

[Crossusn]

I want to know about the hoops. Do they support weight in case of a rollover? Do they extend out automatically in a crash like other recent cars?

[rebeljohn]

I like the front and side views, but not sure about the rear. I prefer the tailpipes apart..........

[mx54life]

4x100 bolt pattern?

[Slampen]

[riefdaddy]

^^ not enough greenhouse to the rear. Personally, I'd like it to have the back off of a Triumph GT6 fastback.

[Phatmiata]

Some more colors for you guys............ (found on the web)

[speedypenguin]

Saw the ND in the flesh today while at MRLS. IMO, it looks much better in person. It's a beautiful car.

[SM16RMSM]

https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3873/15159024802_6d5001c1fc_b.jpg

I want a yellow one now.

[Tkblazer]

After seeing it in person, that front end looks really good IMO .. Whole car looks good really

[Slipstreem]

Wow the ND looks awesome but, I can't help to think that a lot of the body lines follow a BMW Z4. In my opinion anyways.

[Phatmiata]

the more I look at it a see a revised version of the NB Miata, sexy lines are sharper now from the Kodo design.

[davzway]

AGREE, may change mind after seeing in person: however, the design for the back end of this car CANNOT be the same party who did the rest of the ND, or was having an off day. davzway
