In white it reminds me of the Porsche 928's rear "filled diaper" look.

Holy smokes, mate. Where were those photoshop skills when we needed them some days ago.....

I was hoping they would set us up with a few new colours, but it looks like machine gun grey will be the only new colour, so it is most likely going to be red again, for me.

Along with re-tuned suspension and steering, it's had extra sound deadening added to the rear wheel wells. Looks like it will come in auto and manual and only the 2.0 litre, so some chaps may not be too happy.

Having had this current 1.5 litre model in auto and dríven 9000 kilometeres around Tasmania in 3 weeks, I'd have no hesitation in buying another MX-5 ND auto. It's a superb motor vehicle.

This next one will make 52 (not all MX-5's, but 4 of them are) for me...

Frank,
You've had 52 cars in total and 4 of those have been mx5's?

I've lost count of how many cars I've owned.
NA6 turbo - 140kw atw - not the most powerful but so much fun :D

51 cars - that's staggering. I've only owned 10 in the same period.

Style bars are illegal in Australia
I understand the bits remaining once the roof is lowered aren't structural
Like style bars.....Do they have the potential to trap you in the car in a roll over???
