[Sigh of relief] I'm kinda glad it's nothing like the spy shots we saw with the 8's front fascia on a miata body. Luckily it doesn't look too much like ours.
I'm actually impressed, especially the interior. Notice the piano black finish on the dash...

MX-5 Power
For 2006, there is no turbo, but displacement has been bumped to 2.0 liters, and output rises to an estimated 170 hp and 139 lb-ft of torque, compared with the outgoing car's 142 hp and 125 lb-ft. Both five- and six-speed manual transmissions will be offered, boasting short, positive throws and triple-cone synchronizers for the first four gears to help reduce engagement forces. The optional automatic transmission adds two additional forward gears, for a total of six.

My thoughts:
1. It is beautiful
2. It looks fun
3. I think I am in love, if only it had the 13B smoothness it would be a near perfect car.

Looks sweet and doesn't look like an RX8.
Does, however, use a modified RX8 platform. 9100RPM :D

Oooh, I like the real shifter. Looks very BMW. Nice car...didn't like the styling at first, but it's really starting to grow on me. Interior's about perfect.

I didn't like it at first, but now it's growing on me.
If they really do hit the target of 170hp this thing will absolutely smoke the Solstice -- almost as much hp and around ~400lbs less weight.

I didn't like it at first either, and I still don't. That front is plain old terrible. It looks so cutsie, like an anime character. I don't want my cars to look like anime characters, nor do I stick hello kitty bobbles heads on the dash. The rest of the car is decent, front kills it though.
