First one I’ve seen in person. Obviously a Miata in disguise and definitely not as attractive as a Miata. Glad we have more options in this class though, and I’m glad there’s a bigger difference between these than between the Toyobarus.

I for one find it more attractive than its Mazda counterpart.

The Miata looks like a squinting lunatic. The 124 looks downright sexy.

I’ve for sure seen more of the ND miatas but the Fiat looks pretty good from the back.

I would for sure take a 124 over a Miata, and a big reason for that is I prefer the looks.

I think the current Miata is pretty ugly, so these are a pretty cool alternative.

The 124 is an ungainly rehash of a classic design that’s 10 years late to the retro party.

The Miata is clean and fresh and beautiful.

I personally prefer it to the answer. Also you can do a muffler delete and make it sound like a 500 Abarth.

You’re not alone, but I just can’t help seeing a poorly done retro design that looks like a contemporary of the PT Cruiser and final Thunderbird.

Saw one at a dealership in Tacoma a few weeks ago. It’s priced less than a comparable Miata and looks damned nice in the wild.

Yeah, I would never consider a Miata, but would consider a 124.

Well that’s the joy of perceived beauty now isn’t it

I prefer the Miata too. But there were a few speculative renders of the 124 I liked.
