The story of the birth of the Mazda Miata, by one of the people who was there.
"I drove that prototype all around Santa Barbara. People were literally chasing me down to ask about it. At one point, I got stuck at a traffic light beside a Porsche dealership and was nervous about someone taking photos. Looking into the showroom, I saw a few people viewing a 944 on display. One by one, they left the Porsche and came to the window, looking at the prototype, pointing and calling for others to come see."

This detail in particular jumped out at me as pretty progressive for car designers in the late 1980s.

@jalefkowit I love that they assumed that women would want, drive and love a sports car.
