Page 12 of 06 Mazda MX-5 Miata by Mazda USA

On virtually any given weekend, you can find Mazda MX-5 Miatas racing somewhere in the U.S. In fact, Spec Miata is now the Sports Car Club of America's (SCCA) largest and most popular class competing on challenging tracks all across America. And in SCCA Showroom Stock B (SS/B) events, MX-5 Miatas have won six straight overall championships, outrunning a horde of Acuras, BMWs, Hondas and Toyotas in the process. Naturally, this year's completely redesigned MX-5 Miata reflects a host of insights garnered from Mazda's racing heritage. And it's eager to join its older siblings in competition and in the winner's circle. Equally impressive, with more than 750,000 sold worldwide, the MX-5 Miata has also taken the checkered flag for the best-selling, two-seat roadster of all-time. That's quite a track record for a mere 16-year-old. And perhaps the most compelling reason of all to check out the innovative icon that single-handedly reinvented the lightweight, two-seat sports car back in 1989 and once again in 2005. ,
