Nice looking motors though.
Thanks!

Well, the complete U.S. market name was MX-5 Miata. Then, years later in 2006, they dropped the Miata part leaving just MX-5. I generally refer to all MX-5's (or Eunos Roadsters or whatever) as "Miatas."

I always make sure to call the NA's and NB's Miatas as they all officially had Miata in their model name when sold in the U.S. market.
