Landfall
The MX5 is Mazda's gift to the sportscar purist. An inexpensive, nimble, rewarding little critter that is two parts handling and one part GO. The car's balance and forgiving nature are legendary. And its hard-working powerplant is famous for... longevity -- sort of like the Irish Setter an old friend of mine took to obedience school, where it was awarded the blue ribbon for attendance. A wonderful dog, but it wasn't able to do the master's bidding. Now, finally, Miata owners can replace "attendance" with "obedience." But, there will be no forcing Earth's atmosphere down the gullet of your mechanical marvel; nor, slaving over an array of hoses, tubes, radiators, BOVs, and what-not. And, forget adding hundreds of pounds of agility-robbing weight. Just smooth response, gutteral power, oodles of rpm, and a howling short-stroke V6 exhaust note. The KL-Miata is HERE.
