Just release all of the details on the new Miata already. I don't have the patience to wait anymore today!

I want all of the details and all of the photos so I THINK ABOUT IT SOME MORE.... I need a drink.

Is this an actual leaked photo? Damn, that's sexy! Reportedly lighter, right? And maybe a couple more ponies? Might be the most appealing miata yet!

Nice Mustang, bro.

At least you know yours is coming.

All I want is a new Alfa that I both want and can afford but Marchionne seems singularly determined not to let that happen.

As far as I know, it's just a render (it's pretty close to just being the Mazda6's front end, which is a good thing IMHO). Supposedly lighter & more power. If it looks pretty much like this I'd really want to pick up a PRHT (if it's still offered) in a couple years.

I just hope they stick. with a naturally aspirated powertrain. I have nothing against turbos, it's just the dream.

Dude, it's a Honda Accord Cabriolet! V6 bro!

Goddamn Marchionne. Though perhaps they'll at least make it an Abarth instead of a Fiat. Those scorpion logos look better ;)

It's the 6's front end on a Jag F-Type.

You're right. Sign me up for that!

Yeah, wouldn't we all love to have a F-Type based Miata! I am anxiously awaiting the day for when the new Miata comes out. I can't wait to see what Mazda is going to do with the design!

I can't wait either (if this post wasn't obvious enough)!

If they cock it up, they may have an internet riot from Jalopnik.

True. I certainly would start a riot over it! I have a feeling though, that it'll come out well. We can only hope...

No Marchionne. Io voglio un'Alfa, non una Fiat.

To be honest, it stinks a little of union pressure. The reason for deciding not to make it is something about making every Alfa in Italy, which is a bloody stupid idea if he wants it to be a global brand.

I think they will make it an Abarth rather than a Fiat but that still won't make me buy it.

I don't see why they can't make both. Give the Fiat/Abarth a tuned 1.4l Multi-Air and the Alfa the 1750 TBi from the 4C/Giulietta.

It just seems like such a wasted opportunity to me.
