The EU pedestrian crash regulations that are forcing manufactures push hoods and grills to higher and higher positions presents an interesting problem for Mazda with the Miata. With the majority of other Mazda vehicles now resting on a shortened/lengthened/lifted Mazda6/CX-5 platform and all also wearing a variation…

Referencing Mr. Regular's review of the NA Miata, I hope that Mazda does not fall victim to falsely equating a sporty design with a male power fantasy machismo roid rage design. I know that a lot of people see the Miata as an underpowered hairdressers car, but that demographic already have the Camaro, Mustang, WRX…

The NA Miata wore Mazda's original "mouth" grill and I believe that the design was inspired by Japanese Hannya Masks.

then perfected by Mazda with the addition of reliability and mass production when it first introduced the Miata back in 1985.

So basically the ending of The Station Agent?
