PITTSBURGH, PA – The iconic Mazda Miata has been chosen as the featured car for this year's Rock N Rad Show, scheduled to take place on June 15 at Highmark Stadium. The Miata, a symbol of automotive excellence and innovation, has left an indelible mark on the automotive world since its introduction.

A Legacy of Innovation
The Mazda Miata, first introduced in 1989, has become synonymous with the perfect blend of style, performance, and driving pleasure. Its sleek design and lightweight construction have set a new standard in the world of sports cars. The Miata's introduction marked a turning point, redefining the roadster segment and capturing the hearts of driving enthusiasts globally.

According to ConceptCars.com "The Mazda Miata was patterned after the Lotus Elan of the 1960s. It was conceived in the United States at Mazda's design headquarters in California and built in Japan. It made its first debut at the February 1989 Chicago Auto Show where it was an immediate success. It drew thousands of onlookers eager to pay the $13,800 sticker price. 

Powering the MX-5 Miata was a four-cylinder dual-overhead-cam engine offering 116 horsepower. It had a fully independent suspension with dual wishbones, coil springs, and anti-roll bars. At all four corners were disc brakes."

Impact on the Automotive World
When the Miata hit the streets, it not only revived the spirit of classic roadsters but also demonstrated Mazda's commitment to delivering a pure and exhilarating driving experience. Its affordable price, responsive handling, and timeless design made it a favorite among car enthusiasts. The Miata's influence is seen in the countless sports cars that followed, each inspired by its winning formula.
