Great! I haven't driven one in about 15 years. The new body style is sharp. Although I read it's lost its edge a bit?
The new one regained its edge. Much lighter, smaller, better handling than the previous gen.

Interesting. We might add a roadster in the future. Likely to be a Boxster, though. For my spouse's birthday, this weekend I've signed her up for the Porsche experience in a new Boxster S. They have a dedicated track near Hartsfield Airport. The kid and I will hang out and do the simulators.

Drive the miata for sure. It's really nice in a lot of ways.

A la what Fernando said, there is something attractive about a relatively inexpensive car you don't need to fret over.

If convertibles were my thing I might own an ND.

The seat hight is weird too. They removed the height adjustment to save weight. Instead it raises as you slide it forward (since you're shorter) and lowers as it goes back. I couldn't get it into a spot I was happy with.

Interesting. I might have to tag along on one of the wife's trips down there.

Oooh, ok picked out my "classes" - Turbo vs. GT3, and the mid vs. rear engine experience. :D

Hmm, I didn't notice that. I'm with you on the convertible thing though. I like the idea of a convertible, but I just tend to prefer hardtops... I do like the new Miata RF thing in certain colors. It only adds ~100lbs too.

Am I the only one who actually prefers the styling of the Fiat 124 vs. the new ND Miata?
