MIATA stands for
Masculinity Isn’t All That Anyway.
This is an observation on the lack of
manliness in the
Mazda Miata. It's small so its tougher for taller and fatter guys to get into it. It lacks a high
horsepower and high
torque engine. It's
cute. It's just not what a typical
beer drinking,
football watching,
manly man drives.
Click and Clack did a study on
girlie cars. The Mazda Miata was number 3. Other cars that made the girlie list are the
VW Beetle,
VW Cabriolet,
VW Jetta and the
Dodge Neon.
