Sequential-manual 6 speed with auto mode
Updated more aerodynamic front fascia
The 2.0L rev limiter moved up 500RPM to 7500 "as well as fitting a new 'Induction Sound Enhancer' which gives a "more exciting sound"..."?

Is it a dual clutch? I assume so; surely they are not introducing an SMG-type single clutch gearbox in 2009...
Why does Mazda feel the need to make all of their recent designs wear a clown smile? The front of the Miata looked fine as it was.

So they're giving it that overzealous smiley face grill as well? :|

I concur. The Miata front end did not need revising. I do not care for the "smiling" corporate grill opening on any of the new Mazdas :o

Probably a connection from the air intake into the cabin so that you can hear the engine sounds. The 2010 Mustang has it too.

It's just as happy as the new Mazda 3.

I think we need some photoshops of an 'unhappy' Mazda design. Just for comparison's sake.:yes:

I heard a SRT-4 Neon with a straight pipe that sounded really good once. Not like a coffee-can at all. Very throaty and deep, definately like a modified GM 3.8L

Piping the exhaust through a turbocharger changes everything.

In that case, I change my response to:
From the factory? :no:
