by Brian Byrne. Mazda has begun production of the all-new, third-generation MX-5.
The first MX-5 off the line was a Third Generation Limited edition model — bound for North America, and painted velocity red, with a red leather interior. It had a 2-litre four-cylinder engine and six-speed manual gearbox.
The all-new MX-5 was first shown to the public in March at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show.
