the concept of the new Miata...cross between a Miata/RX-8/Mazda6 a little odd but I'm curious what it the final product will look like be nice to have a convertible for Sunday Drives :p (that is if someone wants to buy it for me)

i like the 'family' styling that mazda is using across their cars, it's nice, aggressive, but not overly aggressive. nissan's family styling isn't as nice, and I don't think i need to mention how ugly the cadillac's sharp angled front and rear look.

The morons in our MIS department haven't put a slot in for "rotary engine." I've had quite a few arguments with them about this. They also insist on referring to Miatas as "MX-5s" which, while they ARE MX-5s, who the hell calls them that???

Those pics look great...... if the new MX5/Miata looks anything like that, I might get one for the missus.

Actually if you to a dealer and look at the Mazdaspeed Miatas, there isn't a Miata badge on them, only MX-5.

Why are they making it so tall. Thats almost pt "loser" height. They should drop it back to open top roadster and still incorporate the 4 seater cabriolet. Nice try mazda i give u 7 for effort.

The love child of the 6 & RX8...nice looking but probably still too small. With HUGE SUV's out there I would stick to ADULT sized cars...LOL

I think Mazda calls it Ibuki, the red one. I think it was a concept mini-convertible. There were some picture in the media forum on the cars from the Tokyo auto show.

The left picture was a Photoshop job done by car spy Brenda Priddy, IIRC. Not a real concept car, and nothing like the upcoming NC Miata. Read about it on the Miata.Net forum in the NC section.
