Try 2500-2600 lbs. The Miata hasn't weighed 2200 lbs since 1990, I think.

Have some faith; GM will ensure that it will weigh as close to 3000 lbs as possible and only be offered with the 170hp turd of a motor for 3-5 years, before trying a last ditch effort to recoup disastrous sales by installing a one time limited offering of a forced induction model. Only to watch it sink into automotive oblivion before being discontinued.


Damn you Dodge, you should've made the Razor.

i don't care for convertables myself, but it's a cute little car and definitely noteworthy, coming from saturn. if they play things the right way by going through with the f/i version, and more importantly, opening up the after-market for the sky, i can see it taking the company in a new direction, which is great.
