This is really a ridiculous statement.
LBCs are low tech BECAUSE they are 40 years old. That's
why they seem low tech. What did an E-type or a TR3 seem
like when new? Not low tech at all, it was cutting edge
automotive evolution. I'm sure old farts sat around with
Model Ts and bitched at how all these newfangled cars
were so complex.
In 40 years, the Miata becomes super-old technology that
will seem reproducable just like TR6s and such seem
now.
Really, so many of these anti-miata comments are
just ridiculous if you consider them logically.
