Mazda MX-5

The new Mazda MX-5 (aka Miata) will be launched in the later part of 2005. At the same time, a limited edition Mazda MX-5 Limited will also be launched, with only 3,500 units worldwide. The Mazda MX-5 Limited will be unveiled at the New York International Auto Show on March 25th.

The MX-5 Limited will feature lots of chrome parts, to make it stand out from the standard model and make it look more fancy. It'll also come rolling in unique 17 inch aluminum alloy wheels with a silver finish. Like the standard MX-5, the MX-5 Limited will get the new 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, with 6-speed manual transmission as a standard option. The Limited edition MX-5 will also have unique exterior and interior color schemes.
It looks great, but I want the Mazdaspeed MX-5. I hope they don't wait until the end of the product cycle to make a Mazdaspeed version like they did with the last MX-5, the Miata. The Mazdaspeed Miata comes with a very responsive turbocharger which makes the already fun Miata even more fun.
