Now _that_ I like a lot better -- as long as that's not a fake
Maserati or Ferrari badge on the nose. Call me old-school,
but I love the headlights.

Apart from the taste question, the important thing is that it's
not a "replica" kit trying to make a Miata into a badly faked
something-else.

What is under the hood? A V32 or a V40?

I hope is not planning to drive any mountain roads.

Who wants a "redecorated" Miata?- if you want a BMW, pay for one!
(Although I don't like either of them much, I'm one of the few who think
the Z4 is better than Z3).

The Miata (like Mazda's MX-6 and MX-3) is among the rare cars which
depend on the overall grace of the shape for beauty, with a bare minimum
of chrome, scoops, louvers, etc. This is a characteristic it shares
with a lot of Pininfarina Ferrari designs, the old Shelby Cobra, and
the 1960's and current Jaguar XK cars. My opinion is that a clean,
beautiful shape beats neat "decorations" any day, in both cars and
women. (I love my new Mazda 6, but I'll admit it is a bit "fussy" in
styling).

My Miata wears no exterior mods except a Moss grill in flat black.

Well put. Sadly, the RX-8 design seems to have been done by
people who like "busy". An uglier collection of mis-matched
details I've never seen. The poor thing is all creases and
corners and slots and scoops and whatnot. Not a clean line on
the whole car.

Oh no, I wasn't saying the Miata/BMW is "beautiful," far, far from it,
most certainly I wouldn't want a Miata with a plastic fake-BMW body. In
fact I wouldn't buy that nice Mazdaspeed Turbo, even if I could afford
one, specifically because of the ugly plastic razzmatazz they insist on
bolting all over the body. Particularly the spoiler, what's the point
on a convertible? Though if you happen to like that kind of stuff I
guess "to each his own." The car I was talking about is Keith Tanner's
Miata-powered "Locost," a Lotus Seven clone kit car. Basically I think
you really can't improve on the looks of my stock '93 Miata, but
(provided you don't mind absolute exposure to the weather) you can
definitely improve on the weight:
