New 2012 Mazda MX-5 Could be Smaller and Lighter


With each consecutive version release of cars from different manufacturers, somehow for some reason they tend to get bigger and gain weight.  Manufacturers try to hide this by increasing engine displacement and HP boost.  One of not many car makers, Mazda MX-5 roadster continued to stay relatively light on its feet.  

Latest reports show that a new version of MX-5 Super light concept, that is due to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, should take the current Miata into ever lighter territory.  

It is reported that MX-5 is being prepared for its debut in 2012, with a compact four-cylinder engine and lightweight chassis, the replacement for the current model.  The fate of the MX-2 model, a speculated sub-Miata roadster is yet to be seen.
