#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!

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.

Replying to: manybmws (Jun 12, 2006 6:12 pm) The rumors of a HT MX-5 are just that - rumors   No rumors, it's true. I placed my first order of one almost two weeks ago. It will be here sometime in the fall.   It will add weight, and this is something new for the MX-5. I do not know how it will be received. Cost wont be cheap.   About the RX-7, as many people want to see the return, the best hope we have is that Mazda builds the Kabura concept and throws the 13B rotary in it and it's production name is "RX-7".
