Dude... if i didnt have a Honda it'll be RWD awll damn day!never thought id see that from a soler ..lol .
not to mention i have a thing for Miatas. i wish sols were RWD i would be tooo happy!
Back when the Miata was being designed the other project that it was up against was a FWD "CRX killer" (and a mid engine MR2 competitor). Glad there were RWD fans within Mazda back in the day, the automotive world would be a lot different if they'd made a front driver instead of the Miata.
lmao...Can you elaborate on that?
I didn't know the miata's drivetrain had such an impact on the automotive world.
Don't freak out.
The drivetrain didn't, the concept of the car did. The whole idea of a rwd convertible 2 seater sports car was virtually gone. It brought back the open-top roadster. The Boxster, BMW Z's, S2K, and Solstice/Sky might not exist if the Miata hadn't revived that market.
Plus its had its impact on the motorsports world... when it came out the Miata was a cheap and competitive car. Meaning the people who can't afford other cars can still compete with them.Don't freak out.

I'm sure Porsche and BMW were looking for inspiration from Mazda
And I wouldn't attribute the "revival" of the roadster to the Miata...that's a pretty bold statement. Don't freak out, but it's not quite the Automotive Icon you're making it out to be.
