    I always call it an MX-5, and so does everybody I know

    I own one (albeit a rusty 2005 NB model I bought for £600, not a new one unfortunately), so it gets spoken about a lot

    Are you from the US/another market where it’s sold as the Miata? Because here only people who are really into MX-5s would even know it gets called a Miata in some markets

      Oh that makes sense, there was a different comment/post a while back complaining about Mazda “retconning” Miata’s into MX-5s (American Market/Presumably to drop the Miata name) that brought this to mind.
