Miata. Piata.
Blasphemy, being used in the same sentence as “TR-6”.
I would trust driving a Miata 1000 miles and the TR-6 maybe 100 miles on the right day. I’ve been in the tiny design studio in Irvine, CA (when Ford owned the proud little marque) where it was birthed on paper. But, if you get 1 thumbs up in those 1000 clicks in a beautifully “synthesized”, reliable Miata you’ll probably get closer to 30 in your TR-6. Each Summer day that I see a wonderfully smiling, top-down Miata owner driving past me in my T-topped Vette I smile back but, I envy them not at all. Not even a little. But, it is different on the rare occasion that a TR-6 passes by as I have a fleeting tinge of envy because of its storied racing history and gorgeous lines from almost every angle. Miata = comfort, reliability ...and sterility. TR-6 = originality and timeless class.
Someday the Japs will formulate and execute an original something. Maybe.
