I may get burned at the stake for saying this, but this is a good
thing. If you look at their product mix and market position, Mazda has a
lot in common with our beloved MG's. They seem to engineer their cars
well (sample size of 1) and the Miata is really fun to drive.
The Miata owners I've met love their cars, and have fun driving them.
Just like us LBC owners. They just don't want to work on their cars
themselves.
Cheers,
