Can't wait!

[Pfunk]

I am curious but my expectations are low...

[MEOrdonez73]

Zero expectations high hopes

[Tkblazer]

Hoping the prices on nc's goes down after nd's start hitting the streets

[Unk577]

I'm ready to sell an NC

[94R]

I'm sorta excited. I'm more interested in finding out if a coupe is really in the works and if it'll be available with a diesel motor :)

[Golden Stallion]

I don't think it will come in diesel personally. The miata is supposed to be based off of 70 roadsters and those aren't known for being diesel but who knows what Mazda will reveal. they might say something that no one is expecting

[Unk577]

Mazda is putting a lot into their diesel racing effort. Putting it in their sports car would show they have confidence in their program and technology.

[Tkblazer]

Oh my

not complaining at all since i would love to see all of that mad torque:burnout:

[kung fu jesus]

Sky Ds are coming here until 16 or 17. They are working out bugs in other markets with them.

[fwdtamiya]

So, FYI, according to the clock this goes live at 5:30, not 6?

[Golden Stallion]

So, FYI, according to the clock this goes live at 5:30, not 6?

normally live feeds start a little earlier from what I understand from the past. I will probably have it opened at 530 anyway since I am just home waiting for this already

[theothersawyer]

No, 8:30...you weird west coast people!

But yes, it's starting 30 minutes early.

[fwdtamiya]

Best part of the wait is this comment box :lol:

[revlimiter]

I care not at all for sound. Just lift the curtain.

It's sexy. Show more.

[SM16RMSM]

I want to see more of the Miata but now Duran Duran is playing. This suck.

[Martin]

Here is a side view of the car. Okay now Duran Duran...what the hell?

[Agent☣Orange]

Wow! It doesn't look like a 4x4!

Steering wheel is on the wrong side though, duh!

[Phatmiata]

I've seen more Duran Duran than Miata. This is stupid.

Lucky for me I love Duran Duran :lol:

[Jimmy Vee]

Hi res photos here
http://www.mazda.com/stories/craftmanship/mx-5/mx-5_25th2/movie_photo/

[Phatmiata]

so how much to you think Mazda had to pay for Duran Duran to play this gig?


https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3836/15130447911_954346c646_h.jpg

[fwdtamiya]

I've been taking screen shots, looks like that was totally unnecessary

http://jalopnik.com/2016-mazda-miata-this-is-it-1630269168

That front bumper/hood seam is so ugly :( There's a lot I don't like about it, but I'll wait for later. It looked small! That was cool. The lack of information (this is the new miata, the interior will look nice, now here's duran duran!) so far is awful. Using Jinba Ittai as a freaking buzz word, I died. How long is duran duran going to play!? I thought this was about the new miata. :?

[theothersawyer]

Lucky for me I love Duran Duran :lol:

Didn't day I don't like them, but this is a car reveal not a concert!

[vote4pedro]

2015 er 2016...

[Agent☣Orange]

It's here! (I called Kodo in Soul Red so Phat owes me beer)

[Martin]

So... it's over?

[theothersawyer]

From my uncle who is an auto journalist.

"Okay. It's about 220 lb lighter, 4.1 inches shorter, 0.8 in lower and 0.4 in wider, and sits on a 0.6 in shorter wheelbase. Two motors; a 140 hp 1.5 and 180 hp 2.0-liter. Infotainment/nav screen from Mazda3 atop the center of the dash with a rotary controller near the gear lever. PRHT to follow convertible."

[revlimiter]

Dear Mazda,

Awesome Duran Duran video. Glad the car could co-star.

kisses,
rev

[Agent☣Orange]

Cool shorty antenna but my new Mazda 6 doesn't even have an external antenna. Please delete, Mazda.

I just looked at a 2015 Mazda 3 yesterday that had the SkyActiv 2.5. I was hoping the NB would come with that.


In other news, V8Roadsters just announced an ND LS3 swap while Duran Duran was playing.

[SM16RMSM]

Da Ass

[fwdtamiya]

I'm really trying to like it. It's way better than the NC was and every will be appearance-wise.

You know what, I'm over it. Looks good in the hi-res shots.

[RoadsterTech]

:popcorn::shocked::bop::bangle::bangle::bangle::sl eep:

[RotorNutFD3S]

Now buy this or hold out for RX7v4?

[Unk577]

I like the side view but the front........
If it grows on me then I'll grab one

[Agent☣Orange]

Overall, it's pleasing. It's not knocking me over but it's pleasing. I hate that to be my first reaction after all this wait.

[fwdtamiya]

it's back, gogogog

I like the wheel arches and sexy curves everywhere. Hard to find a straight line. I wish the exhaust were a single, center-mounted one though. I know aftermarket will take car of that. If a US license plate is really going to overlap the body line like that, it's a disturbing oversight.

Cool "Roadster" badge on the trunk lid.

Are those factory side skirts I see??

[JamieH]

Maybe in another two or three years it'll get a front bumper redesign (or the aftermarket fixes it 1st). Otherwise, I think it looks great (that side profile is gorgeous). I foresee people tinting the rear signal/reverse lights. Also, 180HP 2.0L? Nice. Hope there's a little more to be squeezed out of it without too much work/money/parts.

Glad I didn't waste time watching the live stream. Sounds like it was more of a commercial to remind everyone that the members of Duran Duran were still alive.

[fwdtamiya]

Bob was getting to some genuinely interesting stuff and he gets cut off for Vietnam rock :? At least we get to see more of the ND too

Host is speaking again and no freaking audio. Mazda didn't plan this at all.

[revlimiter]

Awww. I missed out.

However, I love the ND. Like, more than I ever expected. It's gorgeous. I will likely own one before too long.

[SM16RMSM]

LED headlights :shock:

[Phatmiata]

REVEAL is BACK ON !!!!!


http://youtu.be/Ze5GPxABcMs

[MX595]

Absolutely fantastic looking

[Phatmiata]

[SM16RMSM]

I see manual transmission with push bottom start. :shock:

[theothersawyer]

Awww. I missed out.

Blue with white stripes?

[fwdtamiya]

Are we gonna see the other car with 17s? Do we get to hear the Q and A session? I really hope so, the screen no longer says 'stick around for more'

Nope, just cut. That's cool.

[RoadsterTech]

"I drew that out as long as I could" :toomuch:

[johnfett]

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ specs or riot

[SM16RMSM]

Mr. AgentOrange, are ya going to trade that slow Corvette in for the ND or are to still planning for a NA?

[Phatmiata]

I wanted to see the one outside they kept talking about............ book hissssss (throws tomato at screen)

[revlimiter]

Blue with white stripes?

I'd actually like one in white. Maybe blue side stripes. :)

[RoadsterTech]

I believe the horse just threw the rider off.....
The car has some nice lines, shame we did not see more.

[Agent☣Orange]

Mr. AgentOrange, are ya going to trade that slow Corvette in for the ND or are to still planning for a NA?

Probably not. Hard to break the LS3 addiction. However, when my Mazda6 lease is up, there might be an ND in my future, especially when there's an LT3 option available.

I like how it looks like it already has the mazdaspeed nc side skirts with a diffuser stock. Looking forward to seeing what the aftermarket has in store for this

Five minutes after the reveal and it's already lowered and modded.

[theothersawyer]

One of my good friends has a tradition of doing that to all Mazda's the day of the reveal!

[Rt66]

Taillights are disappointing, as us the exhaust exit.

[Jimmy Vee]

[revlimiter]

Fantastic whiteout job.

[Agent☣Orange]

God, please order Mazda to delete that damned antenna!

[Dandy]

The watch party went really well.

Infotainment's getting deleted by everyone anyway. Looks good.

It does look pretty good in yellow IMO

[Mindsucker]

Love the interior and rear end! When they release the PRHT i will probably trade in my GT86 for this.
