This is the new Mazda MX-5 Miata on display at the 2008 Ottawa-Gatineau Autoshow. All Mazda Miatas are powered by a 2.0-liter, inline four-cylinder engine good for 170 horsepower. Nearly as much as previous turbocharged Mazdaspeed high-performance models. Depending on trim levels you'll find this power routed to the rear wheels through a five or six-speed manual transmission, or an available six-speed automatic for shiftless types. Though with the automatic, horsepower drops to 166. In terms of options,Mazda did a very good job in modifying some of the Mazda MX parts making it more luxurious like the leather seats and a seven-speaker Bose audio system.
