In an attempt to recapture the light-hearted, fun drive and performance found in the original Mazda MX-5 Miata, designers are catapulting past style cues into the future with the up-coming 2013 MX-5 Miata variant. A slightly different approach to model revamping? Perhaps so. But here are a handful of reasons why we at Superior Mazda are excited to reignite the old spark with the next-gen flame.

Adhering to the current fuel-economy trend, the 2013 convertible iteration will shed a few pounds and allow the engine to operate under a lighter load. Specifically, we're talking a total body weight of around 2,200-lbs; that's over 200-pounds less than the current Mazda MX-5 Miata. Additionally, convertible consumers will enjoy the eco-benefits of Mazda SkyActiv technology integrated into the 1.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. One Automoblog author notes, "SkyActiv will help ensure the car posts impressive fuel economy figures."¹

Integrating a bit of new into the old, MX-5 Miata masterminds have hinted at using a bit of the Takeri Concept design language which was recently revealed at the 2011 Tokyo Auto Show. Under the title KODO: Soul of Motion, the design platform offers a sleeker, more alluring yet aggressive style and is slated to be found in many upcoming new Mazda models.

However, be sure to stay tuned as we are dedicated to releasing Mazda updates as soon as they arrive.
