Mazda Miata's New Top






Here are some of the first photos of the Miata's new power retractable hard top. These are teaser photos, so we don't get to see the top in place quite yet. There have been some articles questioning the wisdom of a folding hardtop, but especially in Europe I think it's a wise move. My family members are constantly getting things stolen out of their cars, so imagine how vulnerable a soft top would be. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures of this car!

The British International Motor Show will have the honor of the official introduction. Since the show is moving to London this year, it has gained the ability to attract more world debut's. The official website crows "We can now announce that for the first time in 8 years the UK is hosting not 1 but 33 Launches! That’s 13 Global Premières….and no less than 20 European and UK Launches." However, if you look at the exhibitor list there are some notable manufacturers missing. Where's the VW/Audi/Skoda group for example?
