So does this mean they will update the MS version with a rotary?



I like the way it looks...but the power is not enough to compete with the S2000. The S2000 still looks sexier IMO too.

I don't know whether I like it or whether I hate it.

I've always liked them anyway, so this new iteration will sink in like the rest.

As a former 95 Miata and current 04 Mazdaspeed Miata driver, I can't but help but be disappointed with this new appearance. I respect the power number for the non-turbo model and the interior is sexy as hell, but the outside appearance along with it's suspected curb weight all go against what the Miata has stood for: Light-weight and compact. Sorry, but the NC model just doesn't appeal to me at all.



Too big, too bubble-looking, and ugly as all hell.
