Plus, there are new engines. This 1.8 SkyActiv-D model may be somewhat unfashionably diesel-powered, but Mazda says that, as long as you can keep the exhaust clean, diesel still has a viable future.

Mazda 1.5 SkyActiv-G Engine Modifications. P5-VP (RS) – 131 hp (96 kW)/ 7,000 rpm, 111 lb-ft (150 Nm)/ 4,800 rpm, – unique variation for Mazda MX-5 model. This engine has the steel crankshaft as was discussed early, lightweight rotating parts and different camera timing. With these modifications, the engine redline raised to 7500 rpm.
