The World's Best-Selling, Open-Top, Two-Seat Sportscar Sets a New Record.

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 6 -- Mazda Motor Corporation today announced the production of the 800,000th MX-5 Miata. Total global production of the MX-5 Miata reached this significant milestone on January 30, 2007 -- 17 years and nine months after production commenced in April 1989.

Now that cumulative production has topped 800,000 units, Mazda is reapplying with the Guinness organization to have the record updated. [GlobalGiants.com]
