Was watching an old James Bond movie last night (You Only Live Twice), and
in one of the early chase scenes, he is being driven around in a small white
convertible that I believe is a 2000GT.  It couldn't be more of a dead ringer 
for the Miata if Mazda tried.  I couldn't see much of it's details, but over-
all proportions were very close.  I think this car was a prototype, or if
not, not produced in quantity or imported to the states.  Am I right with the
name, and could it have been made by Toyota?

If you took away its stationary round headlights, softened the front wheel
fender buldges, and squinted a little bit, it's a Miata!
