Mazda is seriously considering launching a coupé variant of the successful MX-5 roadster. The future coupé would go on sale from 2010.
According to the Japanese car magazine Best Car, there is 60% chance that we will see the coupé hitting the showrooms. 2010 is also the year Mazda will likely revamp the roadster.
The coupé won’t be built on the same assembly lines as the roadster. It will be produced at a small scale by Mazda R&E, the Research and Engineering department of the company which compromises the probability to see the coupé being exported outside of Japan.
This is not the first time Mazda would build a coupé derived from the roadster. The previous generation featured a coupé also sold exclusively in Japan.
