I dunno either. My Miata gets over 30mpg. As far as space utilization
efficiency goes unlike most 5-7 passenger SUVs, my car is always
guaranteed to be at least half full. ;-)

Of course it could be debated that a Miata isn't a real sports car....
and I'm not going to get into that never ending debate!

Miatas are roadsters, not sports cars.  Roadsters are fine.  It's
sports cars I'm talking about.  Especially ones like Tom Stangl has ;-)

P.S.: Speaking of roadsters, anyone want to buy my father's 1965 MGB?
He passed away last fall and my mom doesn't want it...

(...) Road & Track, Car & Driver, Motor Trend, etc. all refer to the Miata as a sports car, so forgive me if I value their opinion over yours. :-) But then, I consider my 1953 MGTD that I used to own a sports car... Bruce (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
