How heavy will that make the car?

According to Leftlane news "The car is rumored to cost just $2,000 more than the canvas-top variant, and weigh only 75 lbs more."

Re: MX-5 Retractable Hardtop

That's EXACTLY what the Sky RL needs to make it just about perfect in my book. It'd be nice if they could do it without much gain in weight though...

Pretty kick ***. This is likely to undermine the G6 Hardtop convertible in price.

Neat.

I agree that the looks of the new MX5 leave something to be desired. Too RX8ish.

In price yes BUT it will still only seat 2, a deal breaker for many people.
