That color combo feels very late 80s early 90s, so good job there.
Does kinda feel a bit old-man colors, though?
It looks like a throwback to the 1995 M Edition "peanut butter & jelly".
I remember the first time my Dad and I saw a Miata back in 1989. We didn't recognize the badge on the nose, but right away we knew it was something new and special. All these years later and it still it's still just as special--a little gem of a sports car in a sea of SUVs.

They did a good looking NB special edition in purple too
The more purple cars on the road, the better!

100%, it's a 1995 M, 30 years later. And a 2000 SE, 25 years later.
It's not a bright sports car color, but the M editions never were. They were the grown up Miatas. At least it's a color and not Prosthetic Limb Mica.
I was looking at the website and saw this - I love the color.
It's about time Mazda started making special editions of the Miata.
In reply to Keith Tanner :
I saw the car in the flesh/metal. Maybe call it a modern take on a familiar theme?
Starting price $36,250. With only 300 available stateside, ending price will be $50,000 (or more) thanks to the dealers. Thanks Mazda.

I prefer the orange 30AE
Mazda has several Miatas on display at Daytona this weekend, including an orange 30AE. This one has a very different vibe. Not saying one’s better or not, but different takes on an anniversary.

Yup. If you're going to revisit one of your special editions, it's a good one.
