Looks well integrated, not unappealing when roof is up.

Can't say the same for the interior, though.

Mathew, I don't know wot you're smokin but to me this is the worst integration of a folding hardtop! It looks like its just stuck on like a nipple cap!

I don't smoke.

Agreed, overall the car's profile isn't very sleek, but considering it's such a small car, it was always going to look a little funny.

I don't really care for the Miata, though.
