The Mazda Miata has never been a large car, but just as all car makes do as they age it has bloated a little. Mazda is planning on fixing that by promising to make the next version of the MX-5 smaller and lighter. There are also rumors that Mazda may also make aMX-2 in a few year that would be even smaller than the MX-5 Miata. Zoom Zoom! Here is a rendered speculation of what the new MX-5 may look like.
It look very good. I like the harder edges more than the happy and bubbly look of the current version seen below.
To me the Miata has never been a girl car. It has always stood for handling and performance. I think it is a shame that society gives it the girlie-car title. Small size and light weight bring quick cornering and great handling to the table which is what Mazda's goal was in the first place. Something that muscle cars will never get since they only want to go in straight lines (don't get me wrong, that is fun too!). Compare it to a roller-coaster; would rather go fast in a straight line and then get off or would you rather go fast with a lot of zippy corners?
