YES THATS RIGHT.
the facelifted NC for 2009 will be offering a competition yellow as one of the new colours!

Looks like an S2000. But I've never been a NC fan. No sexy curves.
I'm sure they are good cars. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my eyes just don't get excited by those fenders bulges or plain, flatish hood.
I'll be happy if Mazda gets some real influence of the Furai into the MX-5. While still making it look like the MX-5. Seems the influence did make it to the front bumper of the 09. Sadly the hood and sides need it more than the nose.
More Elise like swoop,
less Ibuki chunkyness.

But the yellow is nice!

i always thought that the NC should have the side vents in the front guards like the RX8. theyd look great!
im sure a mazdaspeed body kit would give you a bit more "swoopyness" than the stock car.
something like this...

I'm not sure if it solves my major dislikes of the NC shape, but I do like the side vent addition you've made. It does help with the plain flat sides.
