I am partial to the A type Miatas...i am biased because i own a 97 STO edition. However I think it's beauty is derived and influenced by classic euro sportscar designs. ie Lotus It is a simplistic and fun car to drive, not overrun with plastics and gadgets. My uncle has an RX-8 which I thought was a fine car tho I thought the interior was too modern and 'angled' it had much more of a spaceship look where as my miata has the simpler classic interior look....then again im biased

IMO so many cars these days look relatively genaric, cheeswedges on wheels, SUVs look like rollerskates.
