Lol... this shouldn't be called a Miata. Instead, you'd better propose this cute car as a new lineup to Mazda Motor Corp.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, yeah instead of giving the Miata project to Alfa Romeo

Wait, by miata project you mean 'this' Miata project and not the real Miata line up, right?

What the...? Just what kind of collaboration is this? Neither Euros nor JDM enthusiasts like this. I personally don't want one of my favorite JDM cars to have Euro-wanna be styling.
Those Euro enthusiasts are right, Fiat has exotic brands, too, such as Maserati, so why bother taking design from a Japanese car manufacturer?

i know right.... Alfas are well know to be surprisingly UGLY and not to mention uncomfortable driving position
it totally breaks my heart as a MazdaManiac

For us, Alfas look ugly, because they're somehow don't fit our taste, or rather most Asian consumer's taste. But I don't know much about their driving position since I've never seen the interior of an Alfa in person.
That news breaks my heart, too as a JDM enthusiast, seems like many Euro cars manufacturers are desperate about their produt's design and decided to look for help from the Japs.

Btw, Mazzy... I've heard news that Mazda is going to discontinue rotaries, is that true? I'm really scared to hear that
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i'm not sure
i'm pretty sad if did happen
REs sold slower than they used to due to "environmental" issues
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's what I heard from some fellow rotaries enthusiasts here. Even in US they're going to ban rotaries due to that 'environmental' issues as well as V8's.
It's really sad to hear this news, especially when we consider the fact that rotaries nowadays can run on 80% hydrogen fuel.

i dont think Hydrogen is likely to worth
i prefer ethanol so there no re-modifying the RE
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well... it's just minor configuration, the rotors and the engine block remain untouched, I think. So at least we can say that it's safe for the RE, eh?
There's a need to change the fuel tank with the one specificly made for hydrogen, though.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hydrogen is expensive.. did they ever tied alcohol perhaps?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Alcohol...? You mean ethanol? But isn't ethanol is as expensive as high octane fuel? Hydrogen can be cheaper if only they've found the way to mass produce it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well i guess lucky americans and europeans will have it... again
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah... trust me, American government hates rotaries while in the other hand there's quite a number of hydrogen fuel stations opened in Europe. So perhaps Hydrogen RE will find better home in Europe, or maybe you have another prediction?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i dunno if REs will survive the EU because of some special tax
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh...? Special tax? I've never known about that, can you give me some more informations about it Mazzy? Because here RE's are sold at a cheap price because of their small displacement.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that tax is was based on the fuel economy unfortunately
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fuel economy...? Aww... that means cars that drink more fuel are charged with higher tax rate, right?
That's the weak point of rotaries, they consume more fuel for the same amount of horsepower even when compared to large displacement V8. What a bummer...

cool!
how do you take screenshots?
I've made many spore cars but I cant figure out how to take pictures.

press C for camera or V for video

Indeed, a very cute Spore car. It's simple but works
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
its kinda hard considering it doesn't have doors and the preset cockpit are kinda odd for this car
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Even if it's not perfect for being model-specific, it still looks cute as a Spore car in general. If the cockpits aren't working, try combining bodies and use detail parts to form the windows/doors.
