Well I think it's awesome and bring it on. Mazda should never listen to negative comments after all they have produced the best selling small convertible in history and long may it continue. Put me on the list quick!!!!!
Problem with wenkel rotary engines is that they don't produce much torque, so you have to rev them like a Civic Si, but you don't get the fuel economy benefits of a car like the Si. IMO I'd rather have the turbo from the MS3 pushing the rear wheels. In a 2700lb MX5, that would be plenty fast :)
they ruined it, I hear it's a much smaller car with a smaller engine. if it looks anything like this... it's finished! that bmw look is just so ugly. I/m keeping my 2006 mx5 it's the best and will become a hot collector's car.
Their puting the shinari front on it it's the new look for Mazda so this car will come out in production but the shinari won't that just a car showing the features for the future
oval taillights have been one of the miata's signiature styling cues since it's inception. The front grille being so much forward of the headlights ruins the fun-to-drive inviting appearance that all the previous miatas had. If this is the 2012 miata, I probably wouldn't buy it.
How wonderful .Turn the great little miata into a BMW Z4. Great job. Keep it simple and affordable and that is a winning combo. Make it more expensive and you are doomed!

I like it. I wonder what they will have powering it. Will it keep the old four-banger, or go with a V-6, or maybe even a rotory engine?

This is really nice. I hear it's going to lose a lot of weight and size, this looks pretty much the same size. They need an MX-2 and and MX-5
