I just saw the ad for the new MX-5, ex-Miata. I have to say its pretty nice looking.
With Porsche moving its sports cars further upmarket and away from the basic sports car experience, I'm wondering whether they're going to start losing customers to this car.
I know a lot of people on this board started with a Miata and moved up to Porsche Boxsters because in a lot of ways its a better car, and, I gather, more comfortable on the track or on long drives. However, with its abandonment of the 718, the company seems determined to follow the path Rolex and Land Rover have taken away from producing products that are status symbols because they are quality products that cost more because they reflect craftsmanship and do the job better toward producing products that are status symbols because they are status symbols.
I'm as big a sucker for the cachet of Porsche as anyone, but I wish they wouldn't forget their original market. Mazda hasn't. I'd be interested in hearing what former Miata owners think.
