Chicago 2015: 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Accessories Design Concept Arrives
Perhaps as way to keep tongues wagging until summer, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata turned up in some new clothes for the 2015 Chicago Auto Show.
The Accessories Design Concept features components lifted from the MX-5 Global Cup car set to hit the track this season. Said components include: front air-dam; side-sill extensions; and a backside reworked for improved aero.
Brembo brakes help slow the forged BBS wheels around the hairpin, while a carbon-fiber luggage rack with integrated third-brake light allows the driver and a lucky passenger to pack more than just a day’s worth of clothing; the rack also weighs less than 2 pounds.
The concept is also a homecoming for the Miata, as the first-gen version of the iconic roadster bowed in Chicago back in 1989. The 2016 version, meanwhile, is set to hit showrooms this summer.

If the Miata is Chick mobile...then I have gotten a firm grasp of my feminine side. ....time for me to start shopping at Neiman Marcus and Nordstroms! Always thought women had better stuff anyway.
The same problem , whith this car as with Toyota GT86 .. they are underpowered 'sporty-cars' .. , or at least they needs hot-er, cool-er version of base models .. GT86 needs - 250 bhp.., and lighter Miata - 200bhp..(with 6-sec. 0-60 times) to be consider 'sports-cars'.. , because today 'plebean' hot-hatches are much faster !..
