Mazda Miata Spyder’s New Drop Top

November 2, 2011 By Nadeem Muaddi

Check out the convertible top on the all-new Mazda Miata MX-5 Spyder Concept. Instead of a standard folding soft top or retractable hard top, Mazda fitted this roadster with a lightweight canvas cover similar to what can be found on the Porsche Boxster Spyder.

I have to admit, when I first heard that Miata was going the Boxster route, I had my doubts. Porsche’s canvas top sort of looks like a bad toupee – but Mazda actually pulls it off.
