I know there are 3 wheel enthusiasts here. I read this story on Autoweek and thought it would be of interest to others here. There's' a nice set of gallery photos (13 I think) there too.

Cheers,

Sad to say the front looks like it is missing a part.
Is that an attempt to incorporate a front bumper, or poor styling?
Expect someone to create a fix very quickly if these ever do go on sale here.

Ford 3 cylinder + Miata 5 spd.
Neat looking, but I expect quite pricey

I like it a lot except for the engine but I understand why it was chosen for turn-key. It has a market but I'm not in it. Even in that market, it would be easier for a person to justify the purchase over the standard "box" if they could keep the rain out and lock it.

The tires for those big skinnys look pricey too.
