Me likes! Nice logical progression. Now if they'd only release the turbo ("Mazdaspeed") over here, it would *definately* make my shortlist.

Deek.

Looks nice! Front bumper could change a little to look more like a "baby" RX-8 from the front:

Either way, it looks lovely. No metal folding roof though, as it would have been too expensive and would have therefore pushed the price of the car up, taking it away from its intended market. IMO it doesn't look a lot like the S2000

stil manual roof then?

To me the front is a cross between the RX8 and the 350Z and possibly even the pug 406 but that's more the grille that reminds me of the 406.

I hate the MX-5 there are so many of them around (at least around here) it's not funny, they are like the ford focus of the hairdressers cars. And drive like bmw owners. The MR2 is a much better looking car but the s2000 wins my vote.

rant over, sorry got cut up by one and nearly kerbed my alloy today!!

I can't put my finger on it...is this an all new car or yet another facelift?

Either way, I'm not a Mazda fan, so I don't like it!

Whilst you're not, I never have been but am liking what I've been seeing coming from them the past couple of years.

Used to have an MX5 to share with the folks when they weren't using it. Nice to drive. Feel involved with it but man that 1.6 was no fast car.

I'm not really keen on the front, looks abit evil but do like it.
