    Curvy! Not sure I buy the front end completely, but I'm excited to see more pics.

    LA Times photo gallery

    I have to say, I'm really, really impressed. Nice tiny lights, well sculpted sheet metal without bizarre lines, and is that exposed metal on the top of the doors?

    I see they went back to 4 lug wheels. No need to share bits with the RX-8 anymore, it would seem.

    I dig the factory wheels.

    Autoblog gallery, mostly the same shots as the LA Times, but include a couple powertrain pics: http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2016-...#photo-2899847

    Front-midships engine placement:

    The more first impressions I have, the more I think, "wow, it's clearly a Miata." Nice job by the stylists.

    Passenger will get cooked by the cat in the US version, instead of the driver.

    It's a Miata, with Alfa Romeo overtones in the rear quarters. Maybe they decided to keep the big round lights for the Miata after Fiat decided not to sell an Alfa version of this car?

    Now, for fuck's sake, stick a fastback on, drop in a 16X, and give us a damned RX-7!

    The NA and NB both had big round reflectors/lights in a similar location--it's a nice nod to the previous generations, seems like.
    Whoomah!
