Take My Miata to Paris????

From what the local Mazda dealer says it could easily take six months to go through the paper work even if there are no issues regarding whether your car conforms to European standards.

I think the advice to sell yours and buy here is good. Here's a site that has some used MX5s available - you can compare prices:

The two French clubs are MX5 club de France

Once you're out of the cities, the European country side looks great with the top down. Good luck in Paris!

You may also want to check the regulations for getting it back into the USA afterwards. The EPA is particularly nasty.

Personally - I would not bother - too much red-tape hassle (if I remember Europe from years ago). Anyway - you have a chance to try something that we do not get on this side of the pond for 3 years - this could be fun as well... - like an Elise or MGF or Alfa Spyder or...

You can always keep the Miata or get another one when you get back.

Just my $0.02

Forget the Spyder -- they ruined it. It's now a standard vanilla FWD model (though the top does go down).

With the only consolation being the glorious Alfa motor, but you're in the Nissan 350Z price bracket with the Alfa and the German press has been going gaga over the Nissan now. The MGF would be a good choice (make sure it's the updated model).

If you really want to enjoy your Miata try the E74 between Cuneo (Italy) and Tende (France). I loved every single part of it.

How about the SS38 between Bormio and Prato allo Stelvio?
