Well, lets just say Mazda were to respond with another Mazdaspeed MX-5 in 2 years or so. They already have a nasty engine to put in it. The 2.3L DISI Turbo that puts out 274hp (Mazdaspeed6,Mazda CX-7, and up-comming Mazdaspeed3). They can tool it a little different to fit in the car.

You know we live in a society of complainers. Every one is to busy complaining about our economy. There should be NO discussion even about the Miata. It probably may be a decent vehicle but in the end it is japanese. I love america and the american workers. Every one should quit buying foreign cars.

"Every one is to busy complaining about our economy."
 
Actually, by most measures, our economy is doing quite well.
 
"I love america and the american workers. Every one should quit buying foreign cars."
 
Fine. If you love american workers, then an 'american' car would be one built by american workers. Correct? Of course, the flip side of this is a 'foreign car' would be a car built by......foreigners. Correct?
 
BTW - this is the wrong thread for this discussion. There is a thread in the 'News and Views' Board devoted to 'Buying American Cars'. You might want to visit.

Agreed. Folks, let's not drive down that road.

Mazda is unvailing the new Mazdaspeed3 as a 2007 or 2008 model in the next few weeks at the Geneva auto show. For all of you that think Mazda will come up with the Mazdapseed MX-5 in response to the Pontiac GXP very soon, I think this is evidence that we will not see a Mazdaspeed MX-5 for quite sometime. IMO

Hey, I am looking at a Miata 2006 version, does the trunk of the miata hold 2 golf stand bags. I will not buy the Solstice, the trunk is total crap. But if the miata hold the bags, then i will buy one. What do any of you say?

I don't golf, so I don't know if the bags will fit in the Miata.
 
But I thought I'd pass along a bit of news that may be of interest to this group.
 
It appears that supply has already caught up with demand for the Solstice. This weekend I saw an ad from a Pontiac dealer in the Cerritos Auto Mall advertising that they had 3 Solstices ("Solsti"?) for sale at MSRP.

you can fit a standard golf bag in the bag of the solstice...dont know if two will fit or if they will fit in the MX-5 for that matter......we have had our solstice since Dec and love it....I will see if I can find a link for the bag..my golf friends tell me a ping golf bag fits fine
 
here is a pic for you of a golf bag in the solstice:

depends on what part of the country you are in....in the Northern VA/DC/MD area..you cant find a solstice sitting on a dealer lot, or at least one that isnt marked up with a dealer premium.....it appears there is still a 6-8 week order time...if you can find a dealer with remaining model year allocations.....

Nice photos. I am impressed that the bag will fit. I would not have guessed it. But, I suppose, no top down driving with the golf bag back there? Tell me yes, and I may reconsider the Solstice.
