Chronology
Successor	Mazda MX-5 (NB)

The Mazda MX-5 (NA) (sold in Japan as the Eunos Roadster (ユーノス・ロードスター, Yūnosu Rōdosutā) and in North America as the Mazda MX-5 Miata) is the first generation of the Mazda MX-5, manufactured from 1989 to 1997. Inspired by the post-war era British sports cars, the MX-5 rejuvenated interest in roadsters after the demise of cars such as the MG B, Triumph Spitfire, and Fiat 124 Spider.

Since its debut, the MX-5 has won numerous automotive awards and has become the world's best selling sports car.
