Amazing how Saturn found ways to bulk up that center tunnel for no reason.

What bugged me about the Mazda3 was (among other things) that every single LCD glowed a different color, like they were all sourced from different suppliers. This was only made worse when it had the large center touch screen.

Oh man, thanks for calling this one to my attention. It actually looks pretty effin’ sweet!

I may be crazy but these latches look exactly NA/NB Miata latches.

So were you going for the V8 or the V10 swap?

I can only justify having a Miata because I already have a compact wagon. For my wife and I, it does everything the wagon can do except pick up furniture and offer rides home at the end of a pub night. I love light, tiny cars, but I can’t imagine having a car with as little utility as the MR2 as my second car...maybe

I have two cars, a Protege5 and an NB Miata. The Miata is fine for a roadtrip with accommodations en route, but car camping with it (and getting access to those sweet remote mountain roads) requires I install the luggage rack (which wants to deform my aluminum deck lid) or another vehicle in the convoy. If I’m taking

The MR2 Spyder is one of just a handful of cars that can send a Miata owner pointing out the virtues of trunk space.

NO IT HAS ONLY THREE

How come there are seven Fast and Furious movies and still only three for Star Wars?

The first generation Mustang weighed less than the first generation 240SX, and they gave it R34 power...why wouldn’t it be able to drift?

I can’t see a compact car from a Korean maker hitting the market with a B-pillar-less design, but this is a pleasant fiction.

Loving this high forward edge!

Hnnnnnnng, I love this mirror.

That vent, though.

"Minimal damage to property" is a relative term. The crankshaft inspection necessary after a prop strike is likely going be more costly than the fault that put the plane down in the first place—certainly more than the minced up Fusion.

4-Door Sports Car? I wouldn’t even call this thing a 4-Door GT.

Yeah, Mazda, among others, could use a LOT of decent recent. Wait, what is it?

Oh man, that’s an important distinction in age now, isn’t it? I must have gotten old and not noticed. Gasp! That means the Mazdas I bought back then must be old, too! If I’d got into leasing this never would have happened.

Much better!
