MX-5 gets Twinned soft- and hardtops
Found this article in mays issue of CAR. UK.
MX-5 gets a hardtop...
Shock news at Mazda: engineers are working on a folding tin-top roadster as part of the new MX-5 programme. But before purists start panicking, the coupe-convertible does not signal the end of the MX-5 as we know it. The CC version is set to be offered alongside MkIII, which will retain its lightweight canvas roof.
Mazda will be the first manufacturer with twinned soft- and hardtop convertibles. The soft-top roadster should be unveiled at Geneva in March 2005, with European sales pencilled in for the autumn. The CC won't be far behind. Much of its sheet metal will bespoke, to raise the rear end to accomodate the folding roof.
Cheers Michael
