You say you like the looks of the X-Fire better because it is more rare? Yugos are rare but they certainly aren't good looking.
I have to assume your mistaken on which car turns more heads or gets more questions asked.
The only thing I would agree on is it is usually guys that come up to the window. I have to believe they are thinking they are approaching the window of a female in the Miata. Sorry but but it is NO question the Miata is a chick car (unless in full race attire) and even at that it is a "when I grow up I'm goin to be a real race car.
It's America and everyone has an opinion,
Hell you like Miatas I like Cher...
