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.

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

Re: 2015 ND spotted in camouflage
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.

Re: 2015 ND spotted in camouflage
And yet there are pictures floating around on FB which show there is an NC under the covers.

Re: 2015 ND spotted in camouflage
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....

Re: 2015 ND spotted in camouflage
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.
