Replying to: manybmws (Jun 02, 2006 2:54 am) a continuing lack of inventory resulting in only a 30-day supply   just so folks know...a 30 days supply of cars is a very low number and it translates into a limited selection. 10-14 days of the 30 day supply is considered shipping days.

#266 of 376 Hard Top MX-5 on the way by aviboy97 Jun 02, 2006 (10:18 am)
We just placed our first order for the MX-5 Retractable Hard Top. I have yet to see pictures, but, it should be nice!

Replying to: audia8q (Jun 02, 2006 7:08 am) Maybe roadsters in general are seeing a revival. I'd love for that to be true.

This segment will probably grow as gas gets more expensive and people want smaller cars that don't need the A/C run as often, Replies to this message: pao (Jun 07, 2006 9:16 am) logic1 (Jun 07, 2006 9:43 am)

Replying to: camaross (Jun 07, 2006 7:02 am) perhaps...but the roadster isnt a practical car for the average family ..two seater....small trunk....not convenient for kids...and lots of others get better gas mileage...than either the sol or mazda

Replying to: camaross (Jun 07, 2006 7:02 am) Actually, modern air conditioneers have far less an impact on fuel usage than the drag inherent in open car design.   All other things being equal, a coupe with the windows closed and air con on has better aerodynamics yielding better mpgs than a convertible with the top down and air con off.
#271 of 376 MX-5 RHT, Pontiac to follow? by aviboy97 Jun 10, 2006 (5:55 am)
Mazda will be releasing the MX-5 RHT (retractable hard top) this coming model year. I wonder if the Solstice or Sky will follow?   I guess this MX-5 will not have much useable trunk space with the top down. I have yet to see any pictures or specs, so, I am purely speculating.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jun 10, 2006 5:55 am) I would say the sky might..but I doubt you will see a retractable hardtop in the Solstice...thats what the G6 convertible is for IMHO.....wondering the price fo the RHT....betting it will easily push 30K....   Solstice I believe will state low end priced as it was first introduced......nicely optioned for around 23-24K Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Jun 12, 2006 8:48 am)

Replying to: pao (Jun 12, 2006 3:58 am) It is too early for pricing yet, however, I can see the price pushing close to $30K in the Grand Touring model.

Replying to: aviboy97 (Jun 10, 2006 5:55 am) The rumors of a HT MX-5 are just that - rumors. More likely scenario is a return of the RX-7 (as 2 seater) with a collapsible HT and rotary engine.   It does not make much sense in the first place for an HT MX-5 since it would add weight and cost - hurting the basis of its wide appeal - dynamic handling and decent performance at an attractive price.
