    I really like the facelift; it now looks a little less Walrus-ey. I wonder if there is going to be a 20Ae edition, like they did to celebrate the 10th birthday?


    I sort of hope not. Mazda was getting downright Mustang-esque with the special edition Miatas for a while.


    Wait, I have an R package Miata...

    I wonder if Murilee can add this to the model bloat feature...when one is started. I think it looks like Homer got a hold of a box of donuts.

    Sounds like some feature bloat with that bluetooth and technobabble.

    Wasn't keyless entry just jumping in over the door?

    I'm a little surprised the Miata isn't celebrating in Windsor or Montreal, like so many 20 year olds in the US.

    i thought the miata was reserved for car like these one:


    And the rest was just a normal MX-5

    I guess i was wrong about it

    When I think of Chicago I think "Rod is out! Time to find a new position!" and then, for some reason, I also think of the Miata.

    OK. You guys know I love me some MX-5's, but that silly nose looks like Pikachu smiling. I am NOT grooving on it. Makes it look silly.

    The Miata continues to be true to its heritage. It has stayed true to its two-seater, fun to drive theme.

    I love my girly little Miata. Girls also love it and enjoy going for rides in it.


    I don't see the effeminate thing ever. But then my Miata has a roll bar and sits a little bit lower.


    However, I must admit that I need to drive this small car to compensate for the enormousness of my "wedding tackle".

    @kingedwin:


    I have seen LS1 small blocks squeezed into 300ZXs, 350Zs, RX-7s, 240Zs, 240SXs, and even the odd S2000. If one must really, and truly, feel the urge the screw up the cars near-perfect factory balance, I am sure one could cram an LS1 into this thing as well.

    The new headlights are good, though. I appreciate those. Needs more pop-ups, though.

    Wow, they sure fixed the problem of affordability. Didn't these things used to be cheap once?


    And they also added 10% more estrogen, which didn't seem possible but was crucial.

    @ILoveWhatYouHate..09 Matrix: IIRC, the Miata started around $13k in 1990. That's about $22k in 2008 dollars, and they've added a TON of content. Whether that content is to your liking is up to you, fortunately first-gen cars are still readily available for those on a budget.

    @theeastbaykid: I never thought of it that way, good point. Although for cheap drop-top fun, I will stick with old Jeeps.
    And the other above poster also has a point, I must have man-image issues. That car (and my ex-wife's Sebring convertible) have always been girl cars to me, maybe because I never see guys driving them.
