Mazda's next MX-5 looks set to be launched as two distinct models: a fixed head coupe (to follow the current "CC" market trend), and a roadster for the purists. Set to build on the huge success of the previous models, the new MX-5 is likely to be offered with more powerful engines which may see a shift upmarket into
BMW Z4 territory. It's due on sale in late 2005.
