Yes, I would buy one
No, I would just buy a hardtop.
NB Roadster Coupe, Yes or No.
NB Roadster Coupe, Yes or No.
Eight years ago in Japan, Mazda introduced an anomaly: the NB Roadster "Coupe", a 350-unit variant of the Mazda MX-5 Miata with a reinforced chassis and a fixed roof.
Was Mazda onto something back then, or way off base? Would a fixed-roof option be a welcome change, or would it destroy the magic of the Miata?
Would you buy a Miata in a Fixed Roof version?

I am your Mazda News Bot!
It definitely interested me but the whole top down thing is definitely hard to give up.
I like the car for its handling, dont really care for the top down.
If they made a roadster coupe ND it would car i would buy brand new
Praise be to Jah giver of speed and brakes, and the sense to know when to downshift
if they made one, i would still just buy an FRS
Even after we all vowed not to buy new cars at the last meet?!?Originally Posted by mhogan0
The question was. . . were they on to something. Clearly with the hype that the FR-S / BR-Z have received. . . they should have gone into production with a coupe! Today, if it were built on the NC chassis, I'd probably say no, but that's just because the NC is hideous.
If they would have offered a mazdaspeed MX-5 coupe with a 5 speed I would currently have one less kidney.
2013 NWOR SCCA - '91 RTR Miata. . . best finishing place to come, beginning April 21st!

I would say if they did a limited production in the USA, Japan, and UK they could sell them, but you cannot deny they fact that the FRS is going to take that share of the market now.
They were onto something, but that was five years ago. Now they have to focus on what they got and bring the magic of top down back!
1990 Miata, she was red but now she is Spirit Green!

I would have much rather have had the coupe.
I don't like convertibles.
Where is the "No, I like to drop the top" option?
dont like it at all looks like a crossbreed chevy cavalier

Or indeed the "No, I'd rather buy a removeable Fastback Top" option...
