I want one. But I don't want a convertible for a daily driver again. I wish they made a coupe version.

Pretty sure it was Japan only, maybe UK too.

Yes, the NB coupe. They made something like 1000 of them. Rumor has it that one or two somehow made it to the U.S. I don't think I'll be lucky enough to find one for sale here.

There is a sweet removable hardtop available as an option.

Based on my experiences driving R107's with the removable hard top and my knowledge of chassis engineering I'd really prefer a real fixed roof.

I'm a big Miata fan. I'm surprised that more companies don't make 2-seater, ragtop sports cars (as opposed to sporty cars).
