Which Miata is the 2003 model can anyone tell me? i can never distinguish the difference.. (dunno)

I chose it so that the head lights were visible, which is the thing that confuses me the most..

Yellow is a 2001-2003 model, red is a 1990-97. Actually, that particular red car appears to be a 1994 or later R package, but you've got to be sad to spot the difference.

You missed one - the 1999-00. It's very similar to the 2001-03, but has slightly different details.

Sorry, alexitov. That's a 1999-00. Here's what the headlights/grille on a 2001-03 look like:

Keith is right, the easist way to distinguish a 2001 and up from a 99-00 is the projector lens in the headlight, plus the front facia is noticably different.

The picture of the Evolution Orange (Evolution Gold in some markets) 1999 also has the optional Sport body cladding. The red 1994-97 R posted earlier also has the R-package front lip, rear skirt and trunk spoiler. The 2001 has the "basic" body with no addons outside of wheels, springs and the rollbar.

Here's a '99 and '01 side by side for comparison. See how the headlights, bumper and grill are a little bit different?

Actually a 2001 and a 1999 side-by-side, as the newer car is on the left...or was that a test?
