ND Concept from Japan?

Only thing cool is that it comes supercharged and 200lbs lighter.

Here is an mx-5 I found on a magazine yesterday. Supposed to be the new 2014 mx5. Looks like shit to me. Plus if you look in the corner it gets a measly 22mpg WTF!!!!!

I would doubt those MPG figures are referring to the ND. Likely to previous.


And until Mazda themselves unveils the ND, everything you're seeing in magazines are "artist's renderings." Also known as "guesses."

Hmm, interesting. I worry if it's lighter then it won't be sold in the US in the same spec, considering all the safety equipment required to sell a car here such as TPMS, ESC, TCS, etc.

It's RICE. Race inspired cosmetic enhancement. In this case, the inspiration is a diffuser.

I laugh when I see modern SUVs with fake diffusers.

I always thought those were to improve gas milage, guess I've been thinking wrong the whole time.

First off, that's the city mpg number. Never take city mpg into account, as it's always going to be horrible anyway. Secondly, those are the figures for the NC. Plus, do you really think that with the dawn of Skyactiv technology, Mazda would let anything that's brand new get less than 30mpg? (With that said, it'll be interesting to see what sort of fuel economy the ND will get for everyday usage.)

It doesn't even have any of the Kodo design language built in. As I've said before... not from Mazda, no care. However, this is the best and most relevant rendering I've seen so far (the only one with Kodo incorporated) and it's just an NC with the Shinari nose and body lines photoshopped on.
