Preview: Totally Redesigned 2016 Mazda MX-5
By Don Halliwell
It would be a challenge to find a roadster as iconic as the Mazda MX-5. This two-seated, rear-wheeled ragtop has decades of heritage, a closet full of awards, and a true cult following. Last week, Mazda introduced us to our first look at the 2016 Mazda MX-5. It is the most dramatic evolution on the original 1989 design by the company to-date. From the photos we’ve been shown, it perfectly blends that heritage with an aggressive modern aesthetic. . . one that may just drop the “chick car” reputation once and for all.
