it takes the worst design cues from the slk and mixes it with some innovative moves. unfortunately, the overall result is a little emasculating.

The Miata isn’t a “gay man’s car” at all.

But this probably would be. It looks like it’s got a big steel penis running up the middle of the hood.

Correction: I don’t think an automaker could have used this moniker in the 1970’s.

When I see SLA, it makes me think of Symbionese Liberation Army. I don’t think could have used this moniker in the 1970’s.

Maybe they’ll partner with Mattel to make this.

i take it the frontend will look somewhat different, apart from that… seems like a nice 50s/60s style english roadster to me… 2 seats, a small windshield, a nice 4banger in it and (hopefully) lots of fun for the driver…

A entirely goofy-ass automobile that deserves no more than Matchbox production.

how about they stop bringing in new gay looking cars and focus on making their current line up better!

good news is that in an accident you would just go under the other car

They probably will redesign. No one is stupid enough to bring it out like this…

Miatas are gay, and this is too. It looks as if the driver wants to wave at you with his wrist ****ed 45 degrees and shout “This car is FABULOUSSSSSSSSS!!!!!”

However, I do like the interior, and how the strut towers pierce the hood. Keep what’s unique about and move in a different direction.
