2015 Mazda MX-5 Spied

A Japanese motorist has spotted what appears to be the next-generation Mazda MX-5 while out testing in Japan.

The next-generation car has a rear deck reminiscent of the first-generation BMW Z4, as well as the second-gen NB Miata, along with the flared arches of the current MX-5. TTAC will be attending the launch of the fourth-generation car next month, but until then, this is all we’ve got.

  Oh how I wish. Plus slap a turbo on it. I know the purist don't agree with going FI, but my '96 Eclipse GS-T was such a hoot when on boost. Just not a fan of soft tops: too squishy, too noisy.

New MX-5... looks like it fell right under the tree. Only thing I wish for, is less weight, same power or base Eco/Hi-mpg engine and an optional engine of the same Hp as the current 'NC'. Will be seeing it for real in about a month at 'Miatas at MRLS'. Miatas at Mazda Raceway September 5-7, 2014 Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca

Joe65688619 My last new car was a 2020 Acura RDX. Left it parked in the Florida sun for a few hours with the windows up the first day I had it, and was literally coughing and hacking on the offgassing. No doubt there is a problem here, but are there regs for the makeup of the interiors? The article notes that that "shockingly"...it's only shocking to me if they are not supposed to be there to begin with.
MaintenanceCosts "GLX" with the 2.slow? I'm confused. I thought that during the Mk3 and Mk4 era "GLX" meant the car had a VR6.
Dr.Nick What about Infiniti? Some of those cars might be interesting, whereas not much at Nissan interest me other than the Z which is probably big bucks.
Dave Holzman My '08 Civic (stick, 159k on the clock) is my favorite car that I've ever owned. If I had to choose between the current Civic and Corolla, I'd test drive 'em (with stick), and see how they felt. But I'd be approaching this choice partial to the Civic. I would not want any sort of automatic transmission, or the turbo engine.
Merc190 I would say Civic Si all the way if it still revved to 8300 rpm with no turbo. But nowadays I would pick the Corolla because I think they have a more clear idea on their respective models identity and mission. I also believe Toyota has a higher standard for quality.
