Very nice design... looks Italian, almost! One thing I dislike is how the shape of the front fenders makes the wheels look incredibly small. That's an easy fix though

It does! Kind of looks like a little Aston Martin or Jag vert but at the fraction of the cost.

This car has made me so happy I want to stand up give a speech and cheer for humanity. Seriously I'm giggling in bed like a school girl reading biochemistry...who does that?

Beautiful! I had an MX-5 as a second car back in '06. I may have to do it again.

Damn that's sexy!!!!!
Over 200lbs lighter than the last car is rather remarkable as well, considering how much more stringent crash regulations are getting.
As for engines, I'm sure its going to offer either the 2.0 or 2.5 inline four found in the Mazda 3

Wow, the weight reduction and possibility of multiple engines
The design looks seriously sexy.
