LuS1fer - nope, more like a modern take on... well my work computer won't let me upload a photo, but see here: http://www.classicandperformancecar.com/toyota/spo...

The MX3/30X wasn't a bad car in its day though by all accounts. Small capacity V6 = thumbup

In what way was the V6 MX3 a good car?
I had one from new in the nineties and found it a horrible mess of a car.
understeer, unsettled ride, a weak engine that at least offered a glimpse of 6 cyl smoothness. oh, and that ph favourite, atrocious mpg.
In those days "V6" had the cachet of "GTi" in the 80s, and wife fell for it.

I would have this over the normal soft top version - it's kinda like a Cayman to the Boxster scenario in my head at least. I also have a penchant for targas.

This has to be the best looking car I've seen in about 10 years, since the Alfa Brera Spider I'd say.

If only they did a beefy 3cl turbo version, I'd be at my local Mazda dealership and placing an order ASAP if there was... it needs an entertaining engine to go with the chassis
