Default What car is this? (Pic inside)
I saw this car at a Chillis the other night in Tampa. I can't remember the name that I saw on the hood of the car, but this is the first time I've seen this car in person... I know I have seen it before on the web... i just don't recall the name. Anyone???

Looks like a modified Miata.

the front end reminds me of this car... Fiat something. but definitely a different car because the whole side looks completely different.

So, apparently this car is pretty rare... And on top of that... they only made 200. Crazy to think that there is a Mustang Cobra V8 under the hood of that TINY car...

Yuck. The exterior looks terrible! It almost looks like a kit car using a Miata chassis and frame.
