spursmaddave Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Rear is maybe a bit meh but the front/side view is 1 Quote
brillomaster Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 i can see they've blatantly stolen design cues from the F-type, but to me the new MX5 looks like an elephant has sat on the bonnet, and then someone added some lights with an axe as an afterthought. it looks like a snake at the front, and a startled rabbit at the back. and those have to be the tiniest twin tailpipes i have ever seen... the f-type needs twin exhausts, with the engines the new MX5 is fitted with it barely needs one. Oh, and the wheels are too small Quote

Will370z Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Front looks nice but the back looks like an afterthought, it looks like it's been squashed up the. They remembered they need to put lights on Quote

They remembered they need to put lights on Yeah not a fan of the rear the more I look at it... the interior looks a step up too, just hope it hasn't made it too lardy... Quote
Gudzy Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) Yeah not a fan of the rear the more I look at it... the interior looks a step up too, just hope it hasn't made it too lardy... The article says its 100kg lighter than the mk3. Not really a fan of the newer mx5s as they kept getting heavier, glad to see they've bucked the trend. Edited September 4, 2014 by Gudzy Quote
ZMANALEX Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Mazda MX5: :notworthy: SLB Not local to me. Quote

Ah missed that bit Was the MK2 that went a bit lardy wasn't it then with the Mk3 they got all OCD? Good that it is lighter still, proper go-kart Quote
ioneabee Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 it just looks a bit, well, unfinished to me Quote
AMT Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Hmmm...undecided. It does I agree look a bit unfinished... like a mock up that still had another two more to go lol Quote

Good that it is lighter still, proper go-kart No, the mk3 is the heaviest of the lot. It got so heavy they upped the engine capacities to cope. Quote
GMballistic Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Loving the front view but the back is terrible and definitely needs lowering & bigger wheels/exhaust. Also the interior & dash looks pretty good to me apart from that thing in the centre that just looks like an iPad plonked on the dash. After thought? Quote
LRF4N Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Is this the official finalised design? I was looking forward to seeing it complete but it looks pants... Quote
ATTAK Z Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 I'll wait for the Alfa version thanks Quote
Ekona Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 SO MUCH WANT That's going to be amazing, as long as the electric steering isn't completely sh*t. With a lovely high-revving 2L lump in there, that's going to be a beauty of a car. Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 SO MUCH WANT That's going to be amazing, as long as the electric steering isn't completely sh*t. With a lovely high-revving 2L lump in there, that's going to be a beauty of a car. You could always supercharge or turbo it for a wee bit more power Quote

Ekona Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 Have you seen the interior shots? That gearshift just looks absolutely perfect in terms of height and shape. SNICK SNICK Quote
