Given that the current Miata and RX8 share(d) the same chassis, that's a logical extension. However, we don't know if that will be the case with the next generation Miata.

I like this version better. Some 8C DNA in there.

IF they can pull it off in the mid-30s... have it handle just as well as the Miata, and be reliable like the Miata.. they will have a winner.

It is the latter that needs to be seen to be believed. I think if Fiat can let Alfa off of the leash long enough to hook up with Mazda, we will soon see some beautiful and wonderful cars on the roads

Wasn't the Razor basically a rebodied Smart Roadster Coupe? Very good looking piece of kit though...

You have to extrapolate on this or send me some links, as the Googles aren't turning up anything for me. I know the NC's rear multilink setup was a near-copy/paste of the RX-8, but is it really the same chassis? The wheelbases are a foot apart and the lack of a rear cabin and roof would dictate entirely different loadpaths for the chassis.

It was 2 year delay in 1996, 2000, 2002, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, and again in 2013. I suspect it will be a 2 year delay for quite a few more years.

2weeks. 2 years. 2 decades. Bah, who's counting?
