2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata

Any news when the new Miata will be out?

July daw according to TopGear Ph. We would get it first before US.

Sat in the RHD Miata at Pasig. Loved the seating position. I thought the hump under the left calf would be intrusive but once your feet are on the pedals it won't matter anymore. First time I've seen a car engine bay where the ECU and the battery are way ahead of the engine. You've have to read the manual to find the trunk opener so good luck to the mall guard who has to figure that out

aw parang sa dodge viper ba? pede buksan kahit nino? (engine hood sa viper)

[JohnM]

Nope. You still have to unlock the engine hood via a lever under the dash.

The trunk's button is hidden. The Miata guys knew where it was though so I knew where to press after watching them.

The roof is light enough to use and stow with one hand.

First time in a long time I've seen a glove box with a key. It's not even in its usual position.
