Default MX5 Mk3 revealed at Geneva

Overall I'm thinking I like the changes, engines are now from the 6 with 1.8 and 2.0 litre options.
MX5

Looks good and if it drives as well as the original it'll be selling by the millions again.

Could be a tasty engine.

Can't stand the nose in that photo though. Too simple, just reminds me of a plastic toy for a baby.

158bhp is still underpowered though

My sis has the 1.8 144bhp job, and it needs a supercharger!

Cracking cars to drive though, so very well set up and engineered that they can handle 200bhp using a turbo or supercharger no probs

My old one was a turbo and your right they can handle the extra power with ease,used to have loads of fun leaving much "faster" cars standing.

Word from Wifie is that she doesn't like it to be honest I'm not surprised, I think it's more aggressive look will turn some off.

Does anybody else think it looks a bit Z8 ish, rear quarter and steering wheel.
