The current Miata (ND) has some fairly aggressive headlight styling but still maintains the wide grin "mouth" for the front grill: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazda_MX-5_%28ND%29#/media/Fil...

They look pretty neat in person, it's a very nicely designed car.

There was a safety reason why they got rid of the flip-up headlights.

still, those were super-cool. You could flip them up without turning on the lights, and one Miata driver would greet another one in the oncoming lane by doing that.

When people complain about modern car complexity I think of headlights with electric motors and I realize their hypocrisy
