Yes.

Not in that context, it can't get through pedestrian legislation with lights like that.

I think that was a big priority for us, frankly. In order to kind of bring a big step to the car, we wanted to give the car more confident character, much like the other vehicles in the lineup. You can see there's a new confidence in this era of vehicles for us. When it came time to address the new direction of this…

We just do our study, we have a list of components and infotainment that we have to put in. The goal is how we connect the driver to the machine in the most efficient way, we want to enable driving dynamics in the best possible way. All of that position and drivability has to be correct, first and foremost, then the…

Seriously?

I think the potential to do mods on this car are the first thing that comes to mind. I think it's cool, I like it!

Primarily weight, it's not necessary to have duals, it keeps the weight down. Bringing it to the center requires a lot of plumbing.

The entire architecture of the car has a pretty singular purpose, it's minimalist. It looks aggressive, the interior must show that you can go faster than you really can. In terms of literal mounting points for roll hoops, those aren't necessarily a consideration.

It's in the middle. I want to abolish the front plate laws too. It's a common challenge with grilles.

Julien and Derek will be here shortly! Get ready folks!

The core values will be held as long as its relevant to the times, I don't see any reason for it to change. This segment has been around since 1914. I'm not concerned about autonomous cars because of the legal issues in America. It'll be a legal issue that will scare people off. I don't think you won't be able to…

I own a 91 right now, it's one of the 6 color cars. It's H4143, the teal car. 1990 and 1991 are my favorite. The 1992 became more neutral and the seat got raised slightly.

The first project I had at Mazda was the B-Series, but trying to sell my lightweight sports concept took years. I had to make the pitch to make it official in three days. Then they pushed it off to do the MPV beforehand. We were in a weird situation,but that helped. 1987 is when they gave the go-ahead and it got it's…

FWD was never considered. It was never going to be wrong wheel drive. RWD means right wheel drive for the Miata.

No, because the KL series was engineered to be placed at an angle. It couldn't oil itself if it were place straight. - BH

We didn't really look at the Lotus Elan as reference. We were only interested in the Elan to see if we could do a backbone chassis, not a fiberglass body. But we found that side impact laws made side impact crashes hard. Much easier to do a monocoque. We bought an Elan because we had a year to buy a competitor car.…

It will always carry some NA DNA in it to certain degrees. As long as the concept is relevant, it'll be great. In 2089 there could be a hydrogen powered and it'll be just as good a Miata. I'm not a save the manual guy, I want the best for any application. - BH

I know the ND will be a great car. Best ever. - BH

People that never drove the car, people who can't drive, people who count cylinders. If this is a "chick car," I'm glad it is. Nothing makes me happier. The best bonus is seeing people drive them with grins on their faces. - BH

Look great!
