2006 MX-5 production starts

May 17 marked the first day of production of the next generation Mazda MX-5 convertible. Mazda has determined to rename the two-seater MX-5 in the United States, though ads have dubbed the car “MX-5 Miata” to help clear any confusion. The first MX-5 off the line was a Velocity Red Third Generation Limited model, which is bound directly for North America. We can’t wait to get our hands on the MX-5.
