Mazda MX-5 Miata: A car for our time

19 Oct 2009 13:10:17 PDT

Itâ€™s only now, as we slowly dig out of a financial mess and look ahead at drastically tightening fuel economy standards, that the Miata once more seems like not only a great car, but a great idea as well, one that deserves to be copied. Ironic then, that itâ€™s now nearly alone in the market. T...
