The new 2006 NC MX5

KittyKatSmack · 03-03-2005, 12:08 PM

Beaten with the ugleeeeee stick!

What is Mazda thinking these days?

There is the boat Mazda 3, the Mazda 6 on steroids MPS which just has a funny bonnet, and now this........

Bring back the beauty and grace of the BA Astina, the last of the sp20's and the NB MX5... they all seem to flow easily, and not have these blunt edges and square boxy shapes..... Maybe Mazda is turning into a Volvo? They're not sexy, they're boxy!

Anyway, enjoy the look see at these pics.

If anyone can tell me what is located between the seats, whether it is air vents, speakers or a stash compartment, I would be very grateful.

Enjoy

Lots of Miata pics

** Moved to "specific" news.. **

I quite like it.. The NC still retains the same basic design of the out going model, just that the headlights, tailights and a few other minor cosmetic things have changed.. One thing i did notice was the pumped out guards.. It's interesting, especially sexy from the rear view though..

I actually like the new one aswell, looks a little chunkier

CHiMPY · 03-03-2005, 01:19 PM

im a big fan of mazdas new styling.

though I have to admit the BA Hatch is still the best.

pr1mo · 03-03-2005, 02:20 PM

oh yeh id take a BA over a FD rx7 anyday..... :P not really

Dogo · 03-03-2005, 02:34 PM

i like it !

a lot more class. it looks like bmw could have made it. almost.

and u can never go wrong with flared guards

pharkn-kb · 03-03-2005, 02:35 PM

nah me likes the current models...
hmmmmm MX5-SE...*drool*

fruitbat38 · 03-03-2005, 02:37 PM

I think the syling in 90's was better, only good looking new mazda is 6, ah maybe mx5 is still good, I've just never been a fan of convertables/soft tops.

ABC · 03-03-2005, 04:30 PM

I like it actually.

except the indicator lights are troubling me. The ones on Adam's pics above are in front of the wheel bulge whereas this one is behind which looks far nicer IMO.

ABC · 03-03-2005, 04:36 PM

As for between the seats, I'm asuming you're talking about the seat backs? not between the seat bottoms (cause that's just plain obvious)

Looks as though at the top there's some speakers and then another hidey-hole compartment below that.

pr1mo · 03-03-2005, 04:50 PM

unless its been photoshopped i wouldnt want to have any front damage done to that car. both guards and the front bar are all one piece!!!!

its very BMW Z3ish if u ask me. looks good

cheers mike

ABC · 03-03-2005, 05:02 PM

bumper includes some of the front guard to almost the top of the front wheel. There's a pic on Kitty's link that has a chassis on a wall which shows the pickup point quite well.

Agree with the BMW comment though think there's some Aston Martin in there also.

Nate · 03-03-2005, 05:12 PM

i like it! ... picked up a copy of wheels last night at sydney airport ...and ... woah!

KittyKatSmack · 03-03-2005, 05:27 PM

Bah!

Still think mine looks better :P

I guess it comes down to seeing it in the flesh

Will have to do a test drive... now where is my AGT official badge to get me in that car? LOL!

Rupewrecht · 03-03-2005, 05:28 PM

hmm not bad! the more i look at it the more it grows on me.
