/1) Does anyone know what language the word "Miata" means great reward in ?
/Of course, English, but Norm Garrett has twice mentioned that this is a
/German word and neither I or Collin's German dictionary has that word or
/any thing closer than Miete (rent - as in rental).

Miata was derived from an Old German word for reward.
