new miata spy pics

it looks like a baby 8.






if they use that front they need to make the rear look more aggressive.

This picture looks like it was Photocrapped. Seriously, an RX-8 front-end on a Miata rear? jonnyb, you make a good point. I just hope that all of Mazda's future cars don't look like the RX-8.

that's a mule, we don't know if that is the actual look of the new 2005 miata.

In an auto mag at the news stand, I just read an article about the new miata, they claimed it will be built on the RX-8 chassis. the photo they showed didn't look anything like the one above. And the car had a retractable metal roof.

OMG

Glad to know I'm not the only guy who has to do that when the wife is shopping..., do you feel guilty that you read all of them but not buy? I never seem to feel that way.

Seriously, I can see thetm cutting costs by sharing common parts, everyone's doing it these days (especially the military aviation community). But I don't think they would make them all look the same/similar. At least I hope not.
