No fog lamps?

DRL's in headlight and superbright SMD/LED foggies in place of single light output lamp.

Nice understated DRL's.

How massive are the side mirrors :!:

I might be in trouble if they make it in yellow...

US Model: Looks better in non-posed photo.

Looks like it follows the 4C in having the side-marker lights/reflectors in the bumpers. Nice clean look for non-US models then.

Looks like it just took a big breath in through the massive power-mouth and is holding it, all puffed up and squinting at me.
Tail lights are not good, the two shapes don't go together.
Having said that, it's not ugly - just a bit of a disappointment.

How many NA, NB and NC owners going to be painting there screen surround and mirrors black........ Sales of satin black rattle cans will go through the roof

I've always hated the black windscreen surround. It was on the 2005 NC, as well as some of the last NC models too, but it's always looked like a clash in my eyes. Same on the Audi RS cars. I much prefer it to be the same colour as the body, but if I heard correctly durring the presentation then all cars will come with the contrast.

Ah, not like I'm in the market for an ND anyway.

How about mariner blue (disclaimer, I meddled with a photo of the red one, this isn't a real colour choice)

I must have missed that model. Only ever saw body colour or chrome/stainless :roll:

JBT, you're completely right, they were chrome/silver not black (as are the Audi's). I guess I meant the contrasting colours in general. Still didn't like them though!

Looks pretty nice but what's under the hood?
Doesn't really matter - more than happy to keep my NC !

Aesthetically pretty damn good but what I would have liked better:
* Larger headlights
* Traditional NA/NB bonnet "engine bump"
* Smaller mouth
* Titanium version

I was at the launch (with thanks to the guys at Mazda Australia) and I have to say that in person it look even better than in photos. I'm really impressed, fantastic looking car. I'll post some photos from a few different angles and interior when they're on the computer, or check out http://www.facebook.com/mx5vic

Agreed...for the moment.
Given what previous models will be worth as a trade-in or on the used market, I think I'd rather get the GT Plus blower kit, some Ohlins, spiffy wheels and have $$$$ left over. :wink:

Hey Ben, you lucky duck.

Does it also look smaller in the flesh (smaller than an NC)

Any pics of the engine bay?

I'm liking what I have seen so far....and as Caff says....if they make one in yellow :oops:
