2016 Mazda MX-5 Reveal
After 10 years, the next generation (ND) of the world's best selling roadster will be revealed live on youtube tonight at 9pm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze5GPxABcMs Here is a concept drawing leak from earlier today posted by a Mazda product engineer. Expect it to look similar to this. The front looks similar to the 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5. The back looks similar to an Alfa Romeo. Mazda is sharing their platform with Alfa Romeo for the Alfa Romeo Spyder.

No word on powertrain yet. But it now has electric steering and standard LED headlights and tail lights.
16 and 17" wheel options.

Wait until you see this.
Oh, and the trunk has more depth to it. You can fit slightly taller boxes now.

I didn't see anyone mention that they've announced it'll be 200lbs lighter than the current model.
Why is that important? Well for one it makes the Miata 500lbs lighter then a BRZ....and close to the same horsepower if it is 180hp. Just shy of 200hp in a car that weighs 2200 lbs will be pretty fun! Probably similar to an S2k. You won't be winning any drag races but finally the Miata will feel like it can get out of it's own way without the help of forced induction or a v8!

I think that would put it at a better power to weight ratio than an S2k.
