Check out some of the Mazdaspeed parts for the '06 Miata MX5

http://www.mazda.co.jp/mazdaspeed/

the first few pics in the intro vid and then on the main page show the new Touring kit for the miata, looks awsome IMO, i cant read it so im not sure if there are other parts or anything, or the cost, ect...but looks pretty neat.....navigate around and you can find some cool stuff.

Wait till you see it in the showroom. The car is so much more substantial than the old one, and the fit and finish is first class.

Nice job. Too bad I need 4 seats!!

There's just something about its appearance that doesn't sit right with me. I can't figure out what it is.

That looks nice, almost makes the headlights forgiveable, almost. They just ruin the whole car.

The headlights and the hood lines, otherwise the car is sweet looking. I really do like this car though. Can anyone give me a weight figure for the previous gen miata? This one is just under 2500 pounds, correct? I think this platform/engine will make a good candidate for Flyin' Miata.

Don't you think the general lines on the front bumper looks like the 8 w/o the appearance package? I like it.

I saw a limited edition(whatever that is because the salesman didn't seem to know what all the limited edition added to the car) red one in person yesterday and this car is beautiful. The stock rims were gorgeous, I wouldn't even want to change them and thats one of the first mods i look at. I like the lines in person. And it looks if i remember right that they put the right size tailpipes on it vs the too small ones on the 8. Just not practical for me right now but very good looking.

It makes it look more like an RX-8 with the MazdaSPEED body kit. In my opinion I think those body kits ruin the car including this miata. I don't mean to sound racist or anything, but it just looks too much like over the top Asian designing. Just like American cars have their own styling cues, so do these cars. The lines on an RX-8 are amazing, but when the body kits go on, they go over the top. Need to know when to stop.
