As the article say the MX-5 NB Coupe was made for the JDM towards the end of the NB's production cycle.

I dig it. Hopefully the C-pillar would not look like that in the pic. I love the look of the latest MX-5 but could/would not buy a convertible as far as a newer car is concerned. There is a retractable hard top version but I would probably never put the top down. Something about a fixed roof coupe appeals to me though. Maybe cause it would look a little more muscular...

That car according to my Mazda guy was actualy produced in Japan but only something like 30 were made. It was all hand made and now unavailable. I like the new one though.

I'm with J converts don't really appeal to me either. Wonder why they wouldn't produce these, it seems like it would be profitable being that it would appeal to a lot more customers. I guess tooling cost would outweigh the profits, damn money running everything. I wouldn't get the mx5 convert, but would def consider this.
wonder how much it effects the handling, good or bad?

I just can't stop staring at this thing. It's beautiful. It looks like someone took a 350Z and just.... fixed it, and the results are amazing. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a fastback, but if Mazda makes this for USDM I'm buying one... then throwing a rotary in it.

I want my coupe profile to be a kind of like a fast back though. Where the back pillars slope at fairly shallow angle all the way to the tip of the ***. (Audi TT like) This would add a little more cargo room for a bonus.

it actually looks pretty darn good! Very italian, yet reminds me of an FD. Strange combo but it works.
