They need something to compete with the Solstice and Sky which are kicking Mazda’s butt in sales. Look it up if you don’t believe it.

I like the design. Very clean.

I really do not think the Solstice and Sky can match the MX-5 in refinement and build quality. I’ll bet if you drove all three for a decent stretch, when it came time to put your money on the table, you would opt for the Mazda. First year GM can be a quality nightmare.

Right now the Japs just do it better.

Hmmm….the solstice and sky don’t have a hard top. How is this competition? (neener neener neeeeeener)

Looks sharp.

DaveO,

Stop using facts! Obviously biased opinion is all that matters! (sarcasm)

Jon.

I have yet to see any Solstice and Sky on the road where I live and it ain’t no small town.

Deen a few Solstices (Solisti?) in the Midwest. Cool in person- Not enough power for me to get excited about though

Every picture has it semi-open, like it is stuck…must be using Ford-sourced servos….

Why don’t you all stop wasting your money on this jap crap and buy a Camaro instead.

Who cares? Build the Kabura!

The Solstice is just light years away in styling but not sophistication and applied technologies which it will continue to trail the Miata. The Miata can’t seem to shake off its “hairdresser” car image largely to its styling.

Nice, but to me it seems as if this will render the soft top pointless….why would you want it since soft tops are notorious for molding and eventually needing to be replaced… I think this Miata (MX-5 or whatever the hell Mazada calls it this week) will probably sell better than its soft top sibling once sales are underway….

It doesn’t belong on American roads with my Chevy truck. I’ll run it over!

that should read ‘are you’.

Jon.

those losers sending a picture without the roof on, i cant even get and idea what it looks like closed.

Miata is a wimpy hunk of crap. Buy a Solstice or Saturn if you want a real car. Buy a Miata if you are a stupid chick who works as a hairdresser

These little sports car convertibles aren’t really my thing I’m more of a hot rod, muscle car, big sedan guy but this is a really cool feature. Can you Imagine a GTO with one of these, or hell a Mustang?

I think this Anonymous person is making all these stupid pro GM statements, and it is very embarrassing for me as an intelligent pro-GM supporter who comments here. STOP GIVING JON FUEL.

Who is Jon? Does she drive a Miata?

“those losers sending a picture without the roof on, i cant even get and idea what it looks like closed.”

That’s why they’re called “teaser photos”, dipstick. Is it July yet?

The Miata is only for gays or hairdressers? BS. The Miata, as canut4ever pointed out, is much ahead of the Solstice/Sky but can’t quite shake its stereotypes. The car has owned in the autocross and is also pretty damn good on the track.

just bought a miata, and wouldn’t consider the gm twins. IMO they are overstyled and underengineered, though, for gm it is remarkable progress. Generation 2 should be much better engineeringwise, with a functional trunk etc.

Looks V nice

Buy a Solstice if you are a guy, Buy a Miata if you are queer

Buy a Sky if you want to be envied by all the Miata losers who should have bought one if they were smart

priceless ignorant, childish, anonymous comments by stupid people that have never driven either car to produce an intelligent, thought out response to both cars and would rather show how low IQ’s can really go on the internet!

An excellent update to a great vehicle. I’ll be ordering one, when they come out. Comparing this vehicle to GM’s offerings, the GM’s offerings have several missing capabilities and features, for example: a trunk that can be used for trips that are longer than a beer run. Feature for Feature the MX5 wins. Styling on the other hand is a personal choice.

I own a miata, but I considered buying a solstice first. I decided to go miata because I’m not required to get out of the car to put the roof up. How much would it suck to be driving and end up runnig around the car to put up the top while it’s poring down? By the time you get the roof out of its compartment and pin down the back two flaps you may as well have kept driving. Your soaked any way. The hard top is a great way to say “good bye” to expensive replacments of cloth tops, which for some reason jerks love to knife.

Like the new look and the car will be buying one when they come out.

I Own a 2006 mx5. All of my straight friends are jealous. But then they are also intelligent as well. Clearly if you have driven 0ne then you also know why Mazda has been the leader in this category for years. Can’t wait for the “07″.

GM blows. It’s my money, so I’d prefer something that is engineered to last, like the Miata. And something that I don’t have to get out of to put the top up or down (Solstice).

As to car choice determining sexual preference, methinks thou dost protest too much, and that you may be a LITTLE TOO WORRIED about your own sexuality.

Miata’s are the only thing that is keeping me alive!!!
all u retards that are dissin’ my car better shut up! i love all mazdas but the mx-5 is my favorite. heck i love all japnez cars. so leave my baby alone or i will have to kick ya’ll in the teeth! (angry face, punched the computer, yelled at it, and lived my life)

p.s. the sky and solstice aint got notin on this suckas!

peace
