There are around 100,000 people watching this between the streams. That's pretty surprising.

edit: confirmed: 100lbs of skidplates added to accomodate stancecrowd.

Yeah but how many of those people are Duran Duran fans that couldn't give a poo poo about Miatas.

The people standing there are probably Duran fans too.

I like it. I hope the USA version doesn't have idiotic huge high bumpers and stupid looking license plate mounts.

Would buy.

e: I hope I can get one without the iDrive looking stuff in the center stack/console there.

Looks like a stubby Jaguar F-type. That is not a bad thing.

Supposedly 100 kg lighter. This is per Jalopnik, so we'll say it's unconfirmed for now.

Confirmed.

It is the most compact of any generation MX-5 so far and is more than 100 kilograms lighter than the model it replaces, promising a dramatic leap in Jinba-ittai driving fun.

Love it, especially how they managed to add drama to the contours and keep it cohesive and unified.

The only thing I would do differently is the taillights.

The Mazda system works really, really well. So does iDrive.

September 3rd, 2014: The day Duran Duran revealed their highly anticipated return to the spotlight. Also here's this car I guess.

Powershift
Nov 23, 2009


Assuming those are 25.7" tall tires like the current miata has stock, the center of the headlights at stock height is around 24-25 inches, with the legal minimum in most places being 24 inches.

Meaning stancing the new miata is actually illegal!

Yeah ok so the car owns (maybe) but this reveal was ridiculous. I give them a couple more minutes and then gently caress off to sleep.
