Interesting. Hard to get a real feel for the shape overall but does give the impression of being a bit of a development of the slightly 'doughy' look of the NC as opposed to the more lithe shape of the NA/NB.
Fairly 'matronly' bum but nice low nose. Hopefully they might avoid the somewhat 'cross-eyed' look of the NC.
I think the Honda S2000 was the best all-round sports car shape I've seen in the last 25 years.

The guys over the big forum have been playing with the camo images a bit to try and get a clearer idea of the look.....

Here's one of the better ones so far, although I think he over-emphasized the front fender bulges a bit, I think they're a bit more subdued. :wink:

No artificial highlights on this one, just masking the camo......

Confirms a few of the styling details we saw in the camo shots, high boot line, pronounced wheel arches, sculpting under doors. Definitely an MX-5, though, that hip line over the rear wheel is very NB. Looks promising.

Looks to me like an NC with a flattened nose and a giant pillow stuck on its bum.

And yet there are pictures floating around on FB which show there is an NC under the covers.

Here's the actual Youtube video caught on camera phone that the camo shots we've seen come from incase you haven't seen it yet....

I guess we'll all have to wait and see. Many will play games over the interest photochopping teasers just to get a rise out of other MX5 enthusists.
