Still on the original platform, if the door profile is anything to go by.

Door profile is different. It has a sharper upsweep ala the RX7

urrr... those pics were kinda pointless, I mean I could tape up a current one and get the same results.

If you know what the current Miata looks like, you can point out the different contours of the rear, the change in the door cutlines at the buttom and the inward curve at the top, the new grab-handle door pulls, reshaped side-view mirrors, new windshield frame, smaller center air intake, integrated fog lamps and integrated roll hoops.

Hmmmmm, see how much you can get from a few disguised pictures???

okay Mr. Observant.

Looks a tad longer with a hints of the RX-8 upfront.

As a former Miata owner, I am always high on any Miata news.

Like those guys were saying - I certainly hope those wheels aren't an option. *shudders*

They look like the steel rims that came on the M1.

those are some ugly ass wheels.

 

[conjur]

Is that a longer rear deck/trunk I see?

 

[PaNsyBoy8]

did miata's always have a 5 bolt wheel pattern? it was 4 before rite?

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

That has potential to be one boring looking vehicle. I'd like to see something done with the hind quarters. It has a similar rounded off rear as the original Miata.

So far a big thumbs down on the side profile.

Used to be a 4 bolt.

Er, Doesn't look any different to our Mk2 to me. Oh well, time will tell.

 

[boyRacer]

The front already looks like the RX-8... couldve sworn I saw a touched up picture posted in here somewhere.

 

Meh.

For the first year, I would say yes. You can bet on another MazdaSpeed version though.
