And the first 100th anniversary model will be a 5.

Who here is going to buy one?

Seems like a pretty low-effort "special" edition for such a big milestone.

Cannot wait to see the price of a couple of badges and a touch of colour. :shock:

Looks nice I reckon.

The company formerly Toyo Kogyo renamed itself.

Mazda is the Persian word for light!

Miata is an archaic German word for mateship!

So Mazda Miata is light mateship!!!

I think there is something in that for everyone.

I don't think a Puce soft-top would sell it to me.
In any case, Puce works better with silver grey or Titanium.

Wow- underwhelming.
Mazda "light"- yep -Mazda was a brand for bulbs for domestic lamps. We used to make bulbs here including Philips and some automotive bulbs - now we dont make anything.

I wonder if it would sell if the white was a lot more yellow like the original car? In a quirky way it might work.

Yellowey-White with Puce, Um...interesting.

Wow "another" Limited Edition MX5, been a few released now over the years but to be fair it's been alot of years too since 1989! :mrgreen:

Think I'd prefer a 25th anniv NC over this one. I like ND's, but this "special" ain't so special.

100 years? A bold milestone to celebrate considering that Mazda made its first car 60 years ago. For the 40 years prior, Toyo Kogyo was a general manufacturer best known for making cork boards (briefly), tooling machines, 3-wheeled trucks (ie. motorised rickshaws), air compressors, rock drills, rifles & munitions, and machine tools. Where is the 100th anniversary cork notice board?

I would seriously consider buying this if they made it! The car? Not so much. A special edition needs to be more than paint and some accents.

100 years it is a fine milestone for a manufacturer and we saw a few of those in the car business or those making components for that industry. You would really think that Mazda could do something pretty special for that milestone.
