I seem to recall that someone had a couple of pictures of the Mazda Ibuki(?) from the SEMA show. This is the supposed next-generation Miata which looks kinda like an Audi TT.

I can't seem to find those pics any more - can someone please point me to the correct thread?

Thanks.

There are a couple pics in the last 'Car and Driver'.

Go to www.miataforum.com and click on the NC - the next gen Miata - section. You'll find there lots of pics and discussions abut the next gen Miata Ibuki prototype.

It doesn't look like Audi TT it looks like a concept based on a first gen Miata - sortof Mazda heard the fans and promises to return the next gen Miata spirit to what the Miata was 10 years ago.

And Ibuki has never been shown at SEMA

Here is one photograph of the car shown at the Tokyo show:

Well I guess I must have had my shows mixed up, but I distinctly recall seeing a photo of it at a show here somewhere. Thanks anyway.

looks like a 3D rendering to me.

idk if i like it, it's the windshield that would be bothering me.

It is not a 3D rendering. It is a photo of the real car shot in a studio, and then the colors, etc. has been touched to get this effect. Go to the Miataforum and check the post from Bwob about how they did it.

In that forum you will find lots of pics from the showroom floor too
