Mazda’s European CEO, Martijn ten Brink, has said that the MX-5 Miata will never die. This should come as a relief to the thousands of die-hard fans that firmly believe that Miata Is Always The Answer, unless you want to get anywhere fast (that’s a bit of self-deprecating humor aimed at all the Miata owners at CarBuzz. Please don’t send hate mail).
Ten Brink spoke to Autocar about the future of the beloved sports car currently in its fourth generation. According to ten Brink, the current ND will continue to be updated and is not under threat of being axed due to emissions. That’s fine by us, as the ND remains a firm favorite even after nearly eight years of being on sale globally.
But Mazda is not sure what comes next, even though it confirmed that all its cars, including the Miata, would feature some sort of electrification by 2030.
