Meet the latest addition to the MX-5 family.
Before last tonight’s reveal, the rumor mill was operating at full speed: Was Mazda going to show off a fastback or folding hardtop version of their beloved MX-5?
Answer: both.
Meet the MX-5 RF—short for retractable fastback—and holy cow is it beautiful. Where the old MX-5 PRHT was practical, this one adds some serious looks to the program. Suddenly the MX-5 has moved upmarket.
Trunk space remains the same, and North American cars will feature the Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four cylinder. We’re told that Mazda will start taking orders this summer. More details, including price, to come.
Here’s video of the RF’s debut last night:

It's beautiful--like, after the crowd thinned, I just stood there and watched it go around.
Look for a video of the top operation tomorrow.

The Canadian website has a bunch of top up/top down comparison shots that, sadly, aren't hotlinkable.
We'll have a load more photos and video tomorrow morning.
Some somebodies at Mazda deserve a raise.

Totally. And a cookie.

And here's the coolest part of tonight: I got a lead on a Miata story that, should it all pan out, will be pretty darn killer.
I have said too much.

If you could monetize the frustration you just caused in me with that comment, you'd be able to have your decedents live comfortably off the interest revenue alone for generations to come.
