Yeah, April Fools!

It's nice that you guys tried to be so polite and reasonable about it.

But, no, no Miata for me. It would be like going from a Porsche to . . . well . . . a Mazda! And not even the RX-7 Mazda!

Had you going for a minute though, didn't I?

Well based on this article posted a few threads down (see link at bottom) the basic Miata formula and success inspired Porsche to conceive the Boxster. So Miata vs Boxster debates aside, we all likely owe Mazda a thank you for exciting interest in affordable to semi-affordable roadsters and finalized bringing the sportscar scene out of the malaise era.

Further to this, for anyone who is in the market for a non-premium daily driver, Mazda is the only brand in the market with a pulse and an understanding of design.

Oh Thank God!!! You had me at first. The little Mazda is a neat car, and I'm not taking anything away from the car, but... It's no Porsche.

That said... A Miata with the powertrain from an RX-7.
I'd actually like that.
