Mazda will be unveiling it’s hard top roof Mazda MX-5 at the 2006 British International Motor Show. The Motor Show will be held from the 18th of July 2006 to the 30th of July 2006. Mazda’s most successful cult roadster the MX-5 Miata originally came with a canvas soft top. The addition of a powered retractable hard top model will give the Mazda an edge in it’s battle against it’s roadster wars competitor the Pontiac Solstice which does not feature an automatic powered hard top… yet!
Do check out my previously posted video on the Mazda MX-5 in Top Gear, where the Top Gear crew pitches the Mazda MX-5 against a greyhound on the dog’s home turf.

SWEEEEEEEEEEET
anybody know how many cent this car cost in bolehland?
I think this will provide the MX5 a quieter ride. Btw engtaokia, we should be asking the price, not the cost. Because if you know the cost, then you'll sakit hati knowing what the government is charging us on the taxes.
wah nice… lai lai lai, i'm now taking pre-order for direct import of this car from the Mazda dealer 5 mins walk from me in Tokyo… LOL
its about time the mx5 finally has a retractable hardtop. every other car in the same market has it already.
..and cut it out about the car taxes in malaysia already. you guys think no one here knows about them?
i noticed from another angle dat the roof mechanism isnt connected 2d boot, which means it doesnt affect boot space like most retractable hardtops… nice..
Very flashy and very stylish but in malaysia why bother when we get fried in our equater climate. But sure too pull some babes attention
yeap raptor. that's what they claim
car for gurly gurls!!!
mazda's cars are the most exciting…i was at cycle and carraige 2 months ago and i test drove both the peugeot 407 and da mazda6…i mean no disrespect to peugeot..it had a ride like i was hoverin and there wasnt laggin in power either…but when i test drove a mazda6…i booked it rite away…i mean….its offers superb handlin….great acceleration despite being quite tight since da test car is still new…the ride is firm but well damped…i would rather have great handlin…and its just a head turner…all mazda cars of recent seem to be like that….it realy changed my perception on the brand as i always associated mazda wit old smokey 323 boy racers which is a sore sight….im infact a proud owner of a mazda6…btw regardin the price….the sales man told me the mx5 is surealy above da 200 000 mark…but below 250…thats the canvas…this is surely gonna be higher….thats fer sure…
Dont imagine la how much it goin to be in TaxWonderland.. but 2 seaters fans sure can afford.. still many rich people in this country….
we din even get da 2nd gen in m'sia .
don even dream of getting dis 3rd gen .
the beauty of foldable hardtops is that they'll protect u when the climate is hot or wet, wif a lil more sense of security. ie: less chances of ppl cutting up ur roof or window XD
we are getting it..cycle and carriage is already plannin to bring it in by early next year…they are already advertisin it….
Someone…ure rite…no wonder la now mazda 6 is one of the best family car in its class alongside the accord and mondeo…
yup raptor…it is in between seat and d boot…better than the slk which had to sacrifice ur boot space…
