Instead of “Where’s Waldo,” let’s play “What’s That Car?”

According to the ad, the car disguised as a bush is a Mazda MX-3 GS, but we think it looks an awful lot like a Miata.

Any ideas?

And hey, if you take a chance on the mystery car, the seller says they’ll throw in the ivy and weeds for free.

Yeah, I'm not convinced that's an MX-3, though I'd love to be proved otherwise.

Is this a way of getting out social engagements? Asking for my introverted friends.

Let the record reflect that I was looking for an MX-3 when I came across that ad.

I am also thinking Miata and Virginia Creeper, not ivy.

If I remember correctly (and I'm too lazy to look it up) the MX-3 came with a really tiny V6 in one of the trims.

Yep!  a 1.8L V6.  Completely torqueless.
