Re: Miata (MX-5) bashing (no LBC content)

 <<The first version of the Protoge had a 1.6 liter SOHC 8V in
the hatchbacks, 1.8 liter SOHC 16V in the base sedans, and a 1.8 liter DOHC
engine akin to the one in later Miatas in the higher trim level sedans.>>

I always bemoaned the fact that the Miata did not
use Mazda's "best" drivetrain: that in the Protege's
predecessor, the 1988 323GTX.  1.6 DOHC Turbo, intercooled, AWD...
would have been the best of both worlds!
