Head to the nearest Mazda dealership and sit in an ND Miata. Trust me; it's intimate!

As soon as I saw it in person I got over the worry about the dimensions/proportions. Size-wise it looks no bigger in the flesh than a 991.2 C4s. I think most people will start feeling different about this car after seeing it for a few months.

I'm fairly sure if the bumper line was straight across it would look odd. Also, I believe that it is a throw back to the long hood.

What you don't know is that the guy standing there just happens to be 9 feet tall, one of the tallest men in Deutschland I'm told. So any car would look small next to him.

Well, I for one, OK, maybe two, am very happy to see the 911 getting bigger.
