Here's the start of a good fight:

I have not driven a Miata. On paper, it looks like a fun car, and all the
magazines love it. I would imagine that it out-performs a TR6 in most ways.
(No rattles, leaks, electrical failures, etc.) Given a choice, I would keep
my '6, thanks. If I were younger (um, say 20 years), I might give the Miata
a try. Not any more. Probably for the same reason tube amps still sound
good and I can't seem to gain any appreciation for "alternative" music.

When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
