In a review of the Z3 today, the L.A. Times made this comparison with
the Miata:

"Comparisons with Mazda's Miata are unavoidable. Also a longer reach
than Hiroshima from Spartanburg. The spiritual seduction of open-top
motoring may be the same. But the Miata costs much less, dances too
readily, is smaller, lighter, slower and doesn't slap itself to the
road with the substance of the Z3."

and later on:

"BMW has preferred to seat passenger and driver as far to the rear as
possible and so the back end is a little dumpy. Almost, dare we say
it, Miata-like."

Any comments?
