I like the looks of it so far, but can we have some technical details?

Tom, from that angle, it looks gorgeous. It does look F-Type-ish (never a bad thing)

It may be time for my third miata. I love how it looks. The render leaked yesterday was pretty dead on.

Tom... you got any pics of the front? We got a side view from 30' away and 20' in the air... with some bald douche in the way then they cut to the band. They never did a 360 around the berkeleying thing.

So... the driver side and part of the rear looks pretty good.

I kinda chuckled when he said "low beltline" when the top of the door is to the driver's neck.

But WOW, that rendering I saw earlier on Jalopnik was 98% spot on. I was really hoping the rear end would be the same as the rendering. It seems like there are a few little Italian touches to the styling. I like it!

Can we get a straight on full frontal view please? Wait, that didn't sound right...

Looks fantastic. Best Miata design yet. Hope performance matches looks. And hope it's inexpensive and simple enough to keep Spec Miata racing cheap, competitive and fun for 20 more years.

Did I miss them showing the front and back of the car? I saw it appear out of the fog and the camera dwelled on the side of the car only until Duran Duran came on. SO LAME. And Duran Duran went from "success to success to success?" I guess I was not aware.

It has "powerful rear fenders" and accentuated front-end lines.

That's what you were asking for, right?

VERY weak.

If they wanted to go with a band that was relevant in the 80s and still relevant today, they probably should have gotten the Chili Peppers or Aerosmith or something. Duran Duran hasn't had a hit song since the mid-90s.

I just texted David that I'd pay $100 for a quality stage dive. He's thinking about it. I bet if we could get the bidding up a bit he'd totally go for it.

I've got Duran Duran muted and Pantera playing instead. I like the side view. The turn signal portion of the tail lights are a bit odd. Not enough front end shots.

Thanks, Stanger, the front looks very good. It will look smokin' with bigger tires and a drop.
