Gary: I agree with you 100% on all accounts (spooky, huh?). The miata does
lack some of the immediacy of experience (what ever that means) that the B
still has and in general just doesn't seem to have the spirit or personality
or charm that the B does. I love them both, still and all. The problem is
when others try to make you decide if you like apples more or less than oranges!
