I heard a rumour here in the UK that Mazda may be taking the floorpan/chassis and handling and incorporating it into the mx5 next year in the new model. How true this is i dont know but i didnt ask the question it was voluntarily given. (even after i told the guy i ordered one)

Miata chassis + RENESIS + hardtop = Me first in line with a deposit

Why doesn't Mazda make another car like the 1st gen RX-7? Remember that the 1st gen was the best selling RX-7 by far !

They could just give it a little different sheet metal and call it the RX-6 or something...

About a year ago, it was thought that Mazda would use the RX-8 floorpan (shortened and narrowed) as the basis for the NC Miata. Since then, however, it has been revealed that the NC Miata will continue to have it's own unique chassis.
