Reminds me a little of an S2000. That small of a car and that horsepower might just be a win for Mazda.

Looks f*cking swag on paper, if the driving experience of previous miatas is anything to go by, this will be a winner. I would be very interested to drive one back-to-back with an FR-S.

I really like the looks. There will be more than 130hp in the 2.0l version, the current 2.0l is 167hp, it'll be around there at least.
