HIROSHIMA, Japan — Mazda has introduced the 20th Anniversary Special Edition MX-5 Roadster, with such touches as Recaro bucket sport seats and unusual exterior paint. The Japanese automaker said the special model will go on sale only in Japan at this point, starting at the equivalent of $29,861.
All 20th Anniversary models come in Crystal White Pearl Mica, which Mazda said it used for the first time on the Mazda roadster.
Other special equipment includes 20th-anniversary badges, a clear front foglight, and heated seats with five temperature settings.
Mazda said the Roadster 20th Anniversary model is based on the Roadster RS soft-top model with a six-speed manual transmission and the VS Power Retractable hardtop model with a six-speed automatic.
It noted that total production of the Mazda Roadster "now stands in excess of 860,000 units."
Inside Line says: A striking version of the Mazda MX-5, but one you'll have to drool over from afar. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
