[Mgs] miata question

[Dan DiBiase]

I haven't gone to a dealership to look at one, but I have seen both thesoft-top and hard-top versions of the new Miata. In general, I don'tlike the new car. It's bigger and heavier than the previous model, andI think looks less distinctive. My brother-in-law has a '93, and I lovethat car - small, quick, great engine note, very simple and easy topdesign.... And I love the shifter - just a flick of the wrist andyou're away!

I think the hard-top is a great idea for the majority of Miata driversI see around here, who leave their hardtops on well into June and putthem back on in September. The rest of the time, they drive around withthe top up and the A/C on! 

I suspect you're not part of that group, Steve, but I always wonder whythey bother buying this car (same with the BMW Z-series cars) if theydon't really enjoy the wind in their hair!

 Has anyone had a look at the new retractable roof  Miata's . Just left the  
dealers, I'm thinking about trading my 2002. It only has 19,000 miles but I  
really like the body style on the new ones. Any pros or cons appreciated.
