Is this based on a Mazda MX5?

Just changed my mind - is it a Roy Kelly bodykit for a Porsche 924/944 ?

I posted my answer, and hesitated.  Do I really want to graduate?  Too late now.

The MX250 is completely out of proportion, from a side view.  Wrong wheelbase, or poor design?

I did check before I posted and found nothing on the subject. Yes you are fully correct, it is the Tribute Automotive MX250, based on a Mazda MX5.
Point to you.

Merged, the original header lacked the MX250 name. I've corrected that.
