Yeah I know. If they brought that over with a turbo and I had to cash for that or a Elise... I would be really split and wouldn't know which to pick.
The miata would be a lot easier to drive but then the Elise is well it's fuggin ELISE!

One can hope... or finish the job Mazda started. We've all heard the various noises from within Mazda, contemplating expanding production of the NB-based Coupé...IMO, they just need a gentle nudge.

Get behind the wheel (of an actual car, not GT3), find a twisty road and flog the living shit out of one. While a stock Miata may not provide the visceral, spleen-squishing, sternum-deflating acceleration of, say a stock Mustang Cobra it remains a fantastically balanced car. It rewards on many more subjective levels, and is infinitely more refined than the geriatric live-axle Mustang.
Ultimately, it comes down to a matter of preference. Given the cars I've experiences over the years, I personally find the NB-chassis MX-5 to be one of the finest stock convertibles ever.
h: This concludes this shameless plug.... As you were. :chuckles:

The quotes around "they're homo cars" were supposed to mean that I was speaking for someone else.

well lets face facts. 90% of the people on this board wouldn't know how to get 70% of the miatas performance out of it.
