The new MX5 looks smart!

They are Mazda MX5s in prettier dresses.

Japanese engneering and Italian styling?
What's not to love about that combination?

Agreed. My quote was a statement of fact, not opinion.

It's an opinion...because to my eyes the MX5 looks prettier than the Fiat...fact. 

Fuck me. Do I have to spell it out?

The new Fiat Spider is built in collaboration with Mazda. Essentially, it's an MX5 with a slightly different engine, interior and bodyshell.

The chassis's are identical (or so I read).

What one thinks about its esthetic appeal is inconsequential.

I hang on to your every word...nothing you say is inconsequential.

I wouldn't want it the other way around... Japanese styling and Italian engineering...

It happened.  The Alfa Romeo Arna.  A Nissan Cherry, with Alfa engine and running gear....   

Oh dear gods, it's even worse than I imagined.

The horror!
