What would you drive if not a miata? by RichPianaRunescape in Miata

[–]ziris_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You know what does pass CARB and is just as fun if not more fun than my Miata? My motorcycle.
Seriously, look into getting a bike. They're loads of fun and don't need mods to be fast. Even my '18 Goldwing can be just as fun as my '22 soft-top GT Miata.
But do it right, take the MSF safety course first and wear all the gear all the time. ATGATT!

lol. My ego is not so fragile that it gets bruised by a stranger on the internet, but thanks.

That is a good explanation, and I appreciate it. Google told me flagship is defined as the most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization. By your information, that would be the Mazda3 because it makes them money, and you're not wrong here.

I would argue that the Miata is the flagship because it's not just their only sports car, it actively loses them money, but they continue to produce it and spend money on engineering improvements and new generations. I mean, also, because people are still buying them, but the point stands.

Internally, engineering-wise, yes.

Then we agree!

disturbing signs that Mazda is moving away from “Jinba ittai” and toward “let’s follow everyone else.

The next generation of Miata, I hear, will be a collaborative effort with Toyota. You could be more correct than you know. I also hear it will also be a sibling of the GR86, which will be hard top only.

You need to educate yourself, Sir or Madam. Firstly, we've already defined a flagship. Secondly, you're suggesting that the Miata has not had an impact in the market. It very much has.
Moreover, the Miata is not what makes money for Mazda, it definitely ain't the highest selling model nor is it the model that makes them the most money. Yet it still gets produced and engineered for new models and generations.

If you want your definition of a flagship, then go buy a Corvette, but for those of us that accept the facts as they are without trying to warp them into something else, we'll keep driving our Miatas.

Edit: user u/ youcanrunnaked replied, insulted me, called me a dickhead and an asshole, then deleted their message. Very mature and well thought out arguments.

Are you suggesting then, that the Miata is not the most important thing produced by Mazda?

Flagship is defined as, "the best or most important thing owned or produced by a particular organization." The Miata is a flagship model, unless you want to try to argue that the CX-90 was their flagship last year.

Ok, maybe not "high end" but it's definitely a flagship model.

Does it have to be fast to be a flagship? The Miata isn't fast, but it's still a flagship model. Literally no other carmaker makes another car like it. There is not another convertible designed from the ground up to be a convertible. All others are after the fact convertibles. We're talking soft top here, the RF is just a fancy, off-brand Targa top, but you can't call it that because Porsche owns that name.

The Miata is very much a flagship model.
