They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words, this photo is worth a 1,000 Miatas.
Mazda has always been quick to throw a new color on a Miata, add a geegaw, slap a badge on a car and call it a Special Edition or a M Edition or an Anniversary Edition. Well this year with the launch of the 4th generation of the car, they’re getting on the bandwagon early and launching a special Launch Edition.
The first 1,000 people in the U.S. to get an example of the 4th gen car had to pre-order it. They will be getting the top of line Grand Touring with every possible option checked off in Soul Red with a tan leather interior, the only choice they had was stick or auto. Its this color combo is what will make it unique, that and a badge stuck on one fender panel.
The photo above was taken by Mazda and it shows, I think, all thousand of the LEs waiting to be loaded on the boat(s).
