New Cars>>the Mazda Mx-5 Black & Matte Edition

A friend of mine sent me a link this morning showing a new MX-5 special edition from Mazda of France. Designed by LK Paris, the concept seems to be capitalizing on the flat black trend, which is apparently alive and well.

I'm not sure if the friendly little Roadster is the best candidate for the flat black treatment, but it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

What do you think?

Needs a shitload of moar low.

2

WAAAAAAANT! :D

3

Fucking awfull

4

Yeah, needs a hefty dose of slam. Perhaps some gloss details to contrast the paint might work.

5

I am a real Miata fan but this one has to grow on me I guess.



I know some really cool flat black NA's but the NC just doesn't look mean enough to back up the color.

Skip the chrome, lower it and add a frontlip to start with....

6

Leave the flat colors to broke 240 owning teenagers!

7

The matte black kind of clashes with the whole "Y HALO THAR!" front end grin.

8

actually looks better than NC's with regular paint, that's not saying a lot, though.

9

Looks kool apart from the n00b warning triangle in the bg.

10

man, i was almost certain this trend was done and gone. car is sweet though not too incredibly crazy about the front end smiling at me though.

11

Hope this flat/matte/satin/'murdered out' trend will die soon already.

12

waste of flat black paint.





however





mx5's are ment to be driven on track's. and through hills. so when ppl smash them, this will be a cheap easy fix for them :D

14

I don't know - this looks pretty well 'murdered':http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=4102772&page=1

YEAH NEEDS TO BE DROPPED, TOSS THOSE WHEELS FOR SOME BBS CH “BLACK EDITION'S” THEN WE HAVE ACHIEVED FRESHNESS! HOPE MAZDA GETS THIS MESSAGE PASSED TO THEM.

16

i love miatas but this just doesn't do it for me

17

the paint is all >={ but the headlights and grill are all =D

18

i shall await the funeral wagon variant

Matt / Flat / Satin Black, I really like.



But "selling" it out on every car is making it bad.



I saw a Rolls Royce in this colour black and kinda ruined it, the colour.



They look nice on drift cars and the Famous Rauh Welt S15 and the R35 GTR + a few exotics, but not every car.



Needs more low.



+ the girl looks nice.

20

Ummm, that's why you lower it yourselves.



And flat black's been around. HellaFlush, on the other hand, WILL die just like the DUB movement, big wings, and Altezza-style taillights. x)

21

drop it lose the stupid mouth

22

I like the girl

23

Am I the only one looking at the lady's dress? And no, the car doesnt do it for me.

24

No matter what colour you paint it, Miata will still be Japanese for raging h0m0sexual

25

Matt- you need to drive one. Not much power, but good fun (at least the Mk1 and Mk2 were) - Mk3's always look too high for me. btw? You have a problem with homosexuality? welcome to 21st century.

-

I know of at least one other BIG manufacturer getting ready to release a Satin Black Paint....too late?

26

The chrome accents and the ride height kill it. If it were lower and fully blacked out- even the headlight bezels, then it would look good. I wonder what this would look like with a hard top kit (something along the lines of the spoon kit for the s2000). Has a lot of badassness potential

27

Will look better with a few dents and scratches from getting it wrong at drift events.

28

That must belong to Rob Dyrdek...



29

is this a special 4x4 off road version?!

god damn drop it in to the weeds

30

garbage!!

31

I'd rather take the chick over the car but nice effort from Mazda.....

32

OH HAI!!!! I IZ MURDURD OUT!!!!!

CAN I GIV U LIFT, BABY?



(just begs for lol-text)

34

it's a good idea on the wrong car. Now a Matte Black Edition of something fast or good-looking... that would fit.

35

They should have made it the normal black paint and then put flat black wheels on it, and blacked all the chrome details like the headlight tubs and lower grille surround.

36

SLAM IT!!!!!!!

37

bag-o-dicks

38

even with my OEM tendecies, i think it would 'look' better if it were wound down.. but the colour is ok - just don't mass produce it... and by the way.. what's the warning triangle supposed to be about, is it 'cos she broke her heel and she stopped for some assistance and she's on the mean streets?? - LOL - am joking she look aight!!

39

Is it just me but why would you take press shots of your new car by making it look like it had broken down ?



I like MX5s but not lovin this one bit, maybe if they brought out a special edition blown RX8 in matt black, now that would get a better response !
