While at the dentist a couple weeks back I looked at this
month's "Automobile" magazine. They had an article about the
"10 Greatest Sports Cars of All Time". They weren't ranked,
but seemed to be listed in semi-chronological order:
An Alfa-Romeo from the 1920's
Shelby Cobra
Two Lotuses (Elan and Elise?)
A Jaguar
A BMW
A Ferrari
Corvette
Mazda MX-5 (NA)
Porshe 911
I don't remember the models of the Jag, BMW, or Ferrari. IIRC,
the Jag and BMW were both from 40-50 years ago.
It seems the MX-5 keeps pretty impressive company. :)

Although I regularly read Car and Driver, I like and respect Automobile
magazine. That's a pretty nice pat on the back to Mazda. Keep in mind that
it takes allot of cajones to select the miata when so many of your readers
are.........how do you put this nicely..............not purists and even the
purists some times don't take our affordable little roadster seriously and
have never driven one!
Maybe this will wake a few people up.

Note: It wasn't just the NA. It was for the Miata in general. They
just happened to show a picture of the NA. Ditto on the Corvette
and 911. In fact, the author of the Miata writeup owns an NB
(Mazdaspeed).
BTW, they were listed in alphabetical order.

Cool. I didn't have time to read the article.

Ah, so that was it. Just a coincidence that the Alfa was the
oldest and the Mazda and Porsche were the newest (except for
the Elise, I guess).
