Have you seen the Mazda Miata Mx-5 RF?  I saw a commercial last night and I likee.  A link to some info and a short video:

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

It's pretty!
I went to the Mazda dealer last week to pick up Tammy's Miata (was in to have the top fixed) and saw one in the showroom. Didn't get to "fingerprint" it, though, because I was in a hurry to get home.

I've tried sitting in a Miata.
It hurt.

Will the new version entice those over six feet tall?

I'm 5-10, and don't really have any problem, as long as the seat is not slid forward. If I try to get in after Tammy has driven it, I bump all sorts of things.

I'm drooling over the miata.
Did you know that the solstice was sold in Europe as the born-again opel gt?

While the Solstice and Saturn Sky are similar looking, based on the same platform, I believe the Opel is identical to the Sky, except for the badging.
