Overall pretty excited about this car. Going to be interesting to see how it ends up. Since the looks have been addressed I'll chime in and say the headlights seem a little small or maybe a little low and forward in my opinion. I feel like it would be nicer on the eyes with a little tweaking.

As far as weight, I read 2400lbs, and if it is under 2500lbs I'd still be impressed. If this comes in lighter than the FR-S like projected, well, then what I'm curious about is the dimensions. The FR-S is pretty small. One thing I have a hard time seeing is the premise of 2200lbs and 175hp. Automotive development has exploded, and yes you can get crazy power right off the showroom floor, with a warranty to boot. But I still would not expect an entry level car like a miata to have that impressive a power to weight ratio stock. Regardless, I know Dave Coleman is involved in development, and that is really really good.

Offtopic: Everyone on this site should know of Dave from project silvia/sport compact car mag, and I recommend any gearhead follow MotoIQ.com
