That's weird... Didn't know that. The only thing I know, is that previous generations were called "hairdresser's car" but I didn't hear that for a couple of years now....
To be honest, I don't care what other people think, I like the car very much. she's here to stay next to her bigger sister when she arrives.

Indeed, been accused of driving a hairdressers car in the past ! Don't know if that's still the same with the new generation.

I haven't heard that for a while now. I always thought that was a utterly stupid reaction when people said that. I think the 981 looks a bit more muscular and seems to be more accepted, especially as a men's car. Just guessing...
Did a roadtrip in Switzerland and Italy last week with my car and everywhere we stopped I got very nice and positive reactions on the car. Men, women, children and even the Swiss cows started to shake their cowbells when I drove by! LOL

Like men driving Miata's?

What's wrong with that? Why can't men have fun? haha
Miata or MX-5 is together with the Boxster the last true roadster IMO, although different in concept (mid-engined vs front-engined). These cars put a smile on your face when you're drive 'em
It's not always about pure speed, the driving experience these cars can give you, is worth so much more than just getting as fast from 0-60 as possible.

I think there's nothing wrong with a male having fun with a Miata

I did move from a 981 S to a 991 4S after 10,000 miles. I ended up using it as my daily driver unexpectedly because it was so fantastic to drive. After a year or so, however, it really did become obvious that it's just not (for me) suitable as a DD. The 991 is a different animal, and a better one for my purposes. If I threw all practicality out of the window or were outright rich, I'd have both.
