The MX-5 took home the gold for the motor trend comparo...

GRM > Any American magazine out there.

But that competition was based on nothing but track times after the cars were fitted with race tires.

That would only be useful to someone buying it if all they intended to do was track the car. MT's review I'm sure covers all the other aspects in addition to track times, which is more useful to almost every buyer out there.

I'd buy the mx5 over the solstice just because i think the solstice is ugly as shit, plus is weighs 2900lbs. Supposedly a turbo-ecotec Soltice/Sky is coming out in 07. I'd definitely buy that though. The Sky that is.

Have you seen the front of the new MX5. Sits up in the air like a 4wd Powerstroke.

I really like the Saturn Sky from when I saw it in pics and vids...Then I saw it in person at the SD Auto Show and liked it even more...I'm not really into little corner carving cars, but I really like that one...I just wish for $25k, they could of managed to stuff the Ion Redline motor in it as the "base model".

Eh, they're not really "little". They weigh 2900lbs. I think the sky is just absolutely gorgeous though.
