Poll: Should Mazda have taken the Retro design route for the ND MX-5?

[BRGNA8]

What the new ND MX-5 did, perhaps better than any Mazda that had come before it, was lay a groundwork of objectives that had to be met without compromise. The car had to be lighter, smaller, more efficient and with a design that shared little between it and other Mazda vehicles. With the car only slightly heavier than the NA, it's a proper return to form and an exceptional achievement given all the safety equipment and regulations it has to pass compared to some 30 years ago.

I personally think the styling is bang on. Looks much nicer than the 124 Abarth haha!

They definitely achieved a lot in regards to keeping it light but still comfortable inside... And as said considering they managed to squeeze what four or six air bags in there too..... Uncanny....

There is some good that comes out of the Fiat, it shares the exact same interior as the ND, but is covered in luxurious Italian leather and finesse.... I reckon the panels would bolt straight up, carbon copies...
