"Even as summer turns into autumn, our customers can't wait to get their hands on the new MX-5 roadster," said David Klan, Senior Director, Sales, Marketing and Regional Operations. "As soon as you get behind the wheel of this car, it puts a permanent smile on your face and every drive becomes a great experience, which is why it remains the world's best-selling roadster."
