They usually make a hardtop version of Miatas, right? I'd like to see that.

I like it because of what it is...however, walking out to my NC this morning before my commute to work I thought to myself, "Nope, not as cool."
I really need to see it in person. I love the interior. I'm not crazy, however, about the front or rear. There is too much car above the headlights, if that makes sense. Also REALLY not a fan of the 4 lugs...that eliminates a lot of big rubber.

Now i've seen those outdoor(ish) shots of the US spec car, i'm liking it a lot better. 👍

The NB coupe. My understanding was that the car was a test to see if the market for a Miata coupe was there.
That's your emotional attachment to your car, talking. And this is coming from someone in the very small minority of NC "acceptors".

I like the lines a lot. Headlights are a bit too small, but I'm sure it will grow on me.

Seriously though, that's where the lights should be located. Further up.
IMO it looks even worse.
Mazda tried waaaay tooo hard this time.

Can't answer that but I doubt it. No specs are given and the cars shown off weren't even close to final production spec. Look at the US reveal car. It has a manual shifter yet interior parts are from an automatic from what I saw. The gauge cluster shows M mode with a 3-4 shift suggestion. There's a SPORT button next to the shifter as well.

It really does look a lottle like a baby F-Type, but i'm surprised nobody's noticed the similar lines to the Alfa 4C (although mid engine), around the high ridge-lines of the front and rear arches and belt-line. I think it looks great.
(best image i could find for comparison) :
Now, just can't wait to see the Alfa/Fiat version.

Nah, I believe it was a little more skunkworks than that. They'd half-heartedly planned a coupe for years and just built a limited run of them. I don't think they had a big unsold stock of them so I can only assume it was a relative success, but if they really wanted to run some sort of market test I'd have thought they'd run it in the U.S. where the market for such a thing would be a lot bigger.

Look at how happy he is!
You just want to pet him and hug him and squeeze him. Why can't the ND look this cute?!
