Well, let the speculation rest. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata will not debut in Chicago, but at Laguna Seca.
Mazda made the announcement early Thursday, with the news that the new MX-5, known as the “ND”, w ill debut on September 3rd in Monterey, California. Events will also take place in Japan and Spain, with the ND on display at the “Miatas at Mazda Raceway” event from September 5th-7th.
Mazda debuted the Miata’s Skyactiv chassis at this year’s New York Auto Show, but many thought that a surprise debut in Chicago would mark the car’s 25th anniversary after it bowed in Chicago in 1989. But it was not to be.

...we've a five-year-old NC which is likely to remain a long-term keeper, but that doesn't leave me any less excited to see its successor debut: i love where mazda has been going of late and only the MX-5 and 2, our favorites of the fleet, remain to get their respective sprinklings of magic pixie dust... ...rumors have that the mazda 5 will be withdrawn from the market, sadly...
Miata Is Always The Answer
I own a '94 C package that I bought new off a dealer lot. It's still fun to drive and I have no plans to part with it. Just 200,000 miles and it's been very reliable, just the normal wear items. I recently drove an FR-S and loved it but I have to admit: the steering and feedback in the Miata is superior and that's what it's all about.
Why do MX5s have 6" of clearance between the top of the tires and the wheel wells? Looks like a$$.
