 Mazda Launches Refreshed MX-5 Miata in Japan« »

We know all about the 2010 MX-5 Miata already, but Mazda released a few more pictures of its Roadster in various colors to coincide with its Japanese introduction.

IMAGE GALLERY

(As an aside, what's with all the linen-skinned Anglo models in the pictures?)

I dunno - a lot of the Anime characters look rather Anglo as well
Do you realize how incredibly "petite" that dude must be?

My cousin recently went for a photoshoot/taping for Harley Davidson. The guys the agency brought out to represent the riders were very tiny little dudes! The director was like, we don't to make the bikes look small by putting large people on them.

The Harley reps wanted to use my cousin and his friend for a few pics / vids, so they had invited them out. His friend did wind up being in a few of the photos, but my rather "average" sized cousin wasn't.

Another interesting thing - they brought out a trailer full of gear (like t-shirts, hats, etc..) and the "models" all grabbed items their size, then began rubbing them in the dirt to make them look "used and rugged"

I think the story there is that it won't fit. Maybe a 2.0 DISI in the future?

Yes Martha, you can get your new 2010 Toyota 4Runner with a 4-cylinder. As long as it's 2WD. And as long as it's with an old 4-speed automatic.

Most major Asian makes would have a heart attack lately if the ad agencies put regular Asian people in their cars. Mitsu is the only one that luckily didn't get the memo and still embraces their heritage. It is very curious to watch.

It is especially true with the truck marketing, which is quite amoosing. Like sales would tank if an ethnic/Asian fella was on the Tundra worksite or Ridgeline Ridge. Makes no sense. No sense at all.

Those wheels look different on this one than the others in the gallery. They look like the black & gold BBS centercaps and have a chrome/mirror finish. Any word on this or am I just missing something?

The same reason that a $21k GTI had HIDs as standard equipment but they were an option on a $150k 911 Turbo.

For the most part. If memory serves, it's also the cucumber capital of Japan. Hence the home-market ads for the FT-86 featuring Takeichi-kun, the cartoon cucumber whose meteoric rise through the underground drift world has shamed him in the eyes of his school-master.

Another application of the "induction sound amplifier." Curious to hear if there's much difference in sound in the cockpit.



Fox News: “The sky is green.”
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN: “Is the sky green? Our team of experts investigates.”
Local news: “Is the sky green? We hit the street to find out what YOU think!”
Online media/blogosphere: “It is well known that Al Gore and Dick Cheney conspired in 1998 to turn the sky red.”

But it has 50% more happy, so using the 1800's definition of "gay" the equation cancels out.
