TheGoatTrick posted:Lots of clearer pictures here: http://www.latimes.com/la-fi-hy-autos-2016-mazda-mx5-miata-photos-20140903-photogallery.html Here are some more/larger ones: http://www.netcarshow.com/mazda/2016-mx-5/ Looks Alfa-ish to me, especially in the red! Hood-to-fender areas remind me of the Subaru BRZ. I hate the trend of press "photos" now being renders. They almost had me fooled on this one until I saw the closeup of the wheel picture. Why is it so hard to just take professional photos for a huge release like this? Renders just have an off, odd look to them, IMO.

I'm more excited than i was this morning. They seem to have built the closest thing to the NA they could while conforming to modern fuel econemy and safety regulations. People will of course hate it because it will have less than 170 horsepower and if you make a car with less than 300 in this day and age its not enough.

TheGoatTrick posted:The Mazda system works really, really well. So does iDrive. Yup, the non-touchscreen display out of reach plus iDrive style knob-thingy is The Future. Touchscreens in cars are unsafe. I'm sure if you really don't want it, Mazda will let you put this awful thing in place of the nav screen just like the 3.

There is a 17" wheel option, which isn't really surprising I guess

Best angle is from the side I think. Kind of ugly from the front, mostly the lights. Back is meh.

I assumed the event was over after the post-duran duran 25 minute idle screen. Tuned back in just in time to catch the end of the "Presentation".

I'll just quote him quote:The inside information says drivetrain will be the skyactive 2.0 with about 195hp ,weight under 2300. quote:The Mazda3 gets 185hp in 2015 ,,, it's not going to be below that and according to our friends Mazdaspeed it will be 17x7 wheels with 205s with a 17x7.5 and 225 option...... But that's just what the Mazdaspeed guys told us at VIR 2 weeks ago,, I'm sure they could be wrong. quote:According to our info the 3and MX-5 in 2015 would share the same 2.0 and it would be right at 195hp....turbo versions at 235hp....but that came from Mazda Reps... ImI'm sure they were mistaken. quote:And besides he even said there would be a 15-20% HP increase over current models... Those are at 167hp now I told him "yeah, and my uncle works at Nintendo".

I've got a more solid source: "The Mx5 has always had the 323/3's engine. They still sell a mazda 3, which puts the new one at 155 horsepower". (The 184hp engine is only available with an automatic transmission) My uncle is a gay real estate agent. MattD1zzl3 fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Sep 4, 2014 |

This car interior trend of having what looks like a $100 grocery store tablet glued to the dash as the infotainment screen needs to stop. It looks like poo poo.

The front looks like it was made in Italy. The back looks like it was made in England. And the thing is actually made in Japan. Good work, Mazda.

It looks like there's a little bit more going on mechanically around the screen vs. the 3, and it's slimmer, so maybe it folds down? That'd be nice.

What does a car with no roof need? A big glossy screen that will cause a lot of glare and glossy plastic panels that will heat up to a million degrees in no time.

You can put an LCD in a car without it looking like it's a tablet on a walmart dock. Hell, it doesn't even need to make its presence known when it's off, Toyota has been putting the rearview cam screens in the rearview mirror for a few years now.

Look at those headrests and how high up the boot sits. Even with the top down it's going to be a total pain to see behind you unless you're very tall.
