The next Miata, code named
J04, is expected to arrive early in 2005, but will likely be sold as an early 2006
model year entry. The Miata will be riding on a longer wheelbase, and will
measure in a bit longer as well. Slightly roomier inside - occupants will find
a bit more headroom, legroom and even more cargo area in the trunk.
Sources tell us the standard
engine will be a 1.8-liter VVT four, with a possible rotary engine offered as
an option. Enthusiasts are hoping for a lightweight V6 option, but there is no
indication that will become a reality.
The new Miata is expected to
be offered with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), as well as bigger brakes
and 4 airbags.

wo es auch bereits einen
ziemlich ausführlichen und breit gefächerten
Meinungsaustausch über das neue Modell gibt – allerdings nur in
englischer Sprache.
Trotzdem: reinschauen lohnt
sich..
