I just read this on MazdaUSA and thought I'd share. I approve, because I like the fact that the old roadsters, are coming around to the quality of Mazda.

Interesting these collaboations lately. I wonder if this is going to produce the MF-5 or Fiata.

I'd like to know how much cross over (except for engine and drive train) there will be, such as suspension, seats, brakes, interior. And with the aftermarket support, this could open up a whole new world of possibilities.

Yeah, the aftermarket would be crazy if the two cars share so much. I want to see what comes out of the Toyota-Subaru collaboration.

What I wouldn't give to see a few versions of the ND with style cues from Alfa's design team.

Would it actually be about the ND? Because that should be wrapping up development and getting ready for production. If they have to start over with Fiat, the ND won't be out 'til 2025.

I bet Fiat will be using the MX5 base, then playing catch up...that being said, I look forward to both marques upping their game, making for better designs.
