MX-5 Club edition
I was at the dealer getting an oil change and they had 4 of these on the lot and in the show room. 2 are red and 2 are white. I have to say they are really cool looking. I almost traded my Eight in on one. I just cannot go without the back seats and well the payment would suck.

Yeah, I'm still strongly tempted by a white one 
They "Extended" the scheme from the prior year's special edition:
Added that front lip the side graphic, and some suspension upgrades (shocks, springs, rear diff, strut brace)

If I hadn't have my 99 Miata decide to throw a bunch more problems at me last October (which resulted in buying my MSM), I probably would have bought a new Club Sport with my bonus.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Nice mx-5's. Already have 2 grown up kids and i used to like the Miata's. Anyway, the only 2-seater i owned is a Triumph Spitfire 1500 when i was in the Army, then sold it when i got out. I wish i kept it, but i needed the money.

Flyin' Miata : NC MX-5 : Superchargers : FM MP62 supercharger system
Includes a 3 year 50,000 mile warranty, since you bring it up
This supercharger was original co-developed by Cosworth and Mazda for the MX-5, probably as some sort of Mazdaspeed variant. Mazda decided to not offer it after it was completely developed. Flyin Miata managed to become the vendor for it, although Cosworth largely just passed off everything to them to deal with. Tuning is handled through ECU reflash, and as you can expect from co-developing with Mazda, it looks OEM, fits like OEM, drives like OEM.
So far, 2006+ turbo options haven't really gotten off the ground, mostly because they can't compete with how flawless this kit is.

The NEW one? As in the ND series that is still several years away? Probably around 150hp at the crank. Mazda has stated that they are trying to return the car to the weight of the NA series, and it's likely that the engine will be downsized as well. They probably won't be able to get all the way back to 2100lbs, but probably close. There may be a slight power-to-weight bump over current power-to-weight, but likely not.
If you mean new model year, the NC is all the same reported, 167 at the crank. However, there are theories that the 2009+ or 2011+ are higher power, since there have been improvements that should easily net a few ponies.

Cool! I still can't get away from the backseats of my Eight right now or I would get a MX-5 right now. I am still enjoying the RX-8 and it is paid off. I will just keep driving it till it blows up. I hate going to the dealer sometimes. I get the urge to buy a new car every time I do.
It still does not hurt to day dream though.

I actually spotted 2 in my neighborhood after seeing this thread. Ones a convertible and the other is a hard top. I can't get away from my back seats tho...esp with having a kiddo. Maybe when I'm 50 and going thru my midlife crisis
