Completely redesigned for 2006, the third-generation MX-5 Miata features bold fender flares, a large grille, standard 16-inch alloy wheels and dual chrome exhaust pipes for a more aggressive look. For the first time, a power retractable hardtop was added for 2007. The best-selling two-seat roadster in the world was first introduced in the summer of 1989 and was redesigned for the 1999 model year.
