Just what every Mother would want: a color-coordinated magenta Miata to go along with her purple irises and yellow tulips.
This is neither the time or the color of car to do a full Curbside Classic. But I can tell you this much (unless I’ve lost my head); this wasn’t a stock color. In fact, the earliest Miata came in only three difficult choices: red, white or blue.

- Varezhka Maybe the volume was not big enough to really matter anyways, but losing a “passenger car” for a mostly “light truck” line-up should help Subaru with their CAFE numbers too.
- Varezhka For this category my car of choice would be the CX-50. But between the two cars listed I’d select the RAV4 over CR-V. I’ve always preferred NA over small turbos and for hybrids THS’ longer history shows in its refinement.
- AZFelix I would suggest a variation on the 'fcuk, marry, kill' game using 'track, buy, lease' with three similar automotive selections.
- Formula m For the gas versions I like the Honda CRV. Haven’t driven the hybrids yet.
- SCE to AUX All that lift makes for an easy rollover of your $70k truck.

I bet this one has a slushbox...
Miatas are fun to drive, easy to own, and they're far from rare. So when you do get one, you can paint it whatever color you like. Plus, they're so darned reasonably priced, the only reason to not own one for each day of the week is because you have kids to put through college. If you ever want to know how to pick out the fools at a car show, listen for the guys who will dismiss a Miata as a "chick car."
