				So, as we are all Celica owners, we all have the same baseline perspective to build on. What do you as 6GCers think about the Mazda MX-5? Would you consider trading your Celica for an MX-5 (specifically the NB - 2nd gen), and if you did, what would you consider to be the pros and cons of trading to an MX-5? 
			
			Thanks for the input. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \  Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
