Not bad.  Seat backs look nice.  Double hood bulges a nod to the original. 


The A-pillar trim looks awfully wide.  Sturdy structure I'm sure but not visually appealing to me.

They did a good job distinguishing it from its cousin:

I would figure the contrary as well. I was a bit surprised at the outcome of that test. IMO, the Fiat is a better looking car, but only just. They both look amazing and that may be the next car for my wife. She's always wanted a Miata...

Seeing this makes me wish I had never sold my S2000.  Different car and all, but still a complete HOOT to drive.  I'd love to have something like this in the garage again.
