The Miata gets its name back for 2009

[1SICKLEX]

After being officially known as only the Mazda MX-5 from 2006 through 2008, Car And Driver reports that the 2009 model will now once again be officially called the MX-5 Miata.

boooo...

just when it started to gain a slight bit of masculinity, they change it back :lmao:

(i'm not saying all miatas are gay... but the name "miata" doesn't help the ones that are lol)

[redrumracer]

i just hate the front end of the new mx-5's

[DecoyOctopus]

yea they better call it a miata.

[Oz10]

Miata ftw!!!

[JennB]

Wow... that's exciting. Did anyone really ever stop calling it a Miata? :thinking::no:

Wow... that's exciting. Did anyone really ever stop calling it a Miata? :thinking::no:

NO. Just like how in England the Dodge Viper is the Dodge SRT-10.

Strange because when the old Viper was out it was called the Chrysler Viper.

[JennB]

:tangent: I saw a Viper in Paris... that was REALLY weird looking.


Anyways, I have a bunch of Europeans in my office and they all say Miata.... even though it's an MX-5 over there. I think they could badge the car MX-5 for 15 years and people would still say Miata.:lmfao:

[EJ25RUN]

was the name change duo to a licensing agreement that someone had the miata name?

Cause that is what happened with the Viper in Europe.

[JennB]

Not sure. It has different names all over the world.... Miata, MX-5, Eunos Roadster.

All of the ones I saw in Europe just said MX-5.... hell... mine says MX-5 but it's a 2005 and it was supposed to still be Miata then... I think they just like to confuse people who don't know much about cars.

[DecoyOctopus]

mine says nissan quest on it for some reason

None of ours still have the badges anyways. Honestly it doesn't matter to me what they call it, the new ones are still ugly.

Sigs off... I couldn't even tell you what mine is.

If it says MX-5... I guess it's just what I felt like typing that day :lmfao:

Honestly it doesn't matter to me what they call it, the new ones are still ugly.Stock, yes they're pretty ugly. I think they look pretty sharp with the Mazdaspeed aerokit.

Not that one... that one is dead dead dead and has been for at least a year and a half :( Damn shame.






That car was in Japan and unfortunately, met an early death

It was a really nice looking car though. Went around the boards posted as just about the nicest NC around. Too bad. It didn't live very long at all.

[scabtastic]

Well ****, yeah the one i was looking at getting was that same color.
