nah the 240s took that spot

but if there is an increase then it might be the new 240s one day, but i HIGHLY doubt it

i totally agree on that. The thing is most 240s look ****tyy azz hell and all riced out.

[Thighs]

i think miatas are going to become more popular as people realize that FWD is FTL. it wont be as bad as the civic or 240 (i hope) but im sure they will get close.

i miss mine already, but im lovin the e30

For a long time the Miata was primarily a sportscar driven by a enthusiasts old enough to have some money and knowlege of automobiles. This kept prices up.
Miatas have finally gotten cheap enough for broke ass kiddies to buy them (including NBs) and fuel prices have driven many others into the market toward a small fun sportscar to drive instead of that SUV.

Civics are econobox fwd commmuter cars that kiddies rice out.
Miatas are purpose built rwd roadsters.
They really dont compare.

Since Matt & Jesse are are both getting into the BMW scene I guess the Bimmer guys should be worried about the 'gay factor'

LOL! Yeah but BMW already took a hit on that with the homo's buying 1.9 Z3's in baby blue and 323cic's and putting rainbow's on them. Thank god for them being in some Bond movies...that established to the ignorant homo scene that they are men's cars...unlike Sebrings.

The whole stigma about Miatas being "chick cars" is exactly why they will never be the "next Civic." I bet ricers are too concerned with looking girly, so they'll stay away from Miatas. Instead, they'll get Scion tCs.

THAT'S RIGHT, I SAID IT: The Scion tC is the new Civic. FWD, underpowered, overhyped, and cheap enough for anybody with a steady income to buy. Especially in the next 4-5 years as they get way cheaper, you'll see more and more of them riced out.

I'm with you on this because the Scion have a dealer backing with aftermarket parts for the cars.

It depends on how far along you are in the game. The 240's are dying now that the new bandwagon is time attacks. As already stated the Miata's are about the cheapest and best performing segway into this. All you need is a first gen, some low ebay springs and a roll bar and you're a real racer. lol It will become the new civic in much the same way the 240's have. Its a much better car than the civics and they never made as many so it won't be the same in numbers but there's already plenty of people who have no idea what they're doing but still trying anyways. I personally have stayed ahead of that trend and I've done plenty of Miatas and now I'm on to the BMW world too. My E30 is well underway and the blasphemy is already in the works, SR20 in an E30 FTMFW. Cheap speed at its finest.
