 Hope it loses some weight. Mazda has not leaked a lot of photos of the what the car will look like. Lots of speculation though.

Rumour is that it has lost approx 100kg.  We'll see.  That's tough in today's environment of airbags, etc, etc.

Lots of rumours that it will look similar to this . http://forum.miata.net/vb/showthread.php?t=553171
It has the same shape as the Camo version.

Me to. I've had mine 8 years and am growing tired of it's looks.  Many miata nuts hate the 3rd generations styling.

Not to run anyone's car down, but the NC never really did for me looks-wise.  Totally subjective, of course.  But keep in mind that when it comes to roadsters, I much prefer the "light and retro" look.

None of them ever did it for me looks wise.  Lots of people feel that way.  Too "cute-sy".

Let's hope this one looks a bit more aggressive.  Heck...just copy the S2000 and put your own twist on it.  Worked for Jaguar and the new F-Type!

While I agree the MX-5 never did look aggressive (any gen).  IMO, the S2000 doesn't either.  The RX-8 styling has always appealed to me.  But with the Kodo design being used on the other Mazdas, I suspect we will see some of that on the grille.  It works the best on the Mazda6 so far...

True. However lots of people feel the other way as well.  They have sold a lot of those cars.
I'm not a fan of the NC styling either and I own one.  :o Much prefer the NB which took it's looks from the FD RX7 .
In the NC you sit lower in the car like you are in a bathtub very similar to the S2000. The 1st  2 generations of miata you sit up a bit experiencing the elements like the old British roadsters.

Anxiously awaiting this as well.
If it looks like the pic Seafoam posted it will be very hard for me to resist laying down the cash for one.
More aggressive look, around 2,300 lbs, around 200 hp and a sweet shifing 6 speed?   Count me in.

REAALLLY hope it doesn't disaappoint like the '15 Mustang has...

I am confused. Is the LIVE event at 10 pm EDT (which is 7 pm PDT) or 6 pm PDT (which is 9 pm EDT)?

Should be unveiled at 9 pm, eastern time.

Still under wraps for now.



Quote from: Julie on September 03, 2014, 07:40:17 pm
For those interested, unveiling will be streamed live on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze5GPxABcMs

EDIT: Streaming begins at 8:30 pm. Actual unveiling may not be until 9 pm, but who knows.
