I like the vehicle summaries have info as to when the vehicles will go on sale in Canada.

Mmmmmm, this MX-5 Miata sounds very nice. I liked icy blue on previous gen Miata.

2008 Mazda MX-5 Special Version

The newest limited-edition MX-5 Miata version

Making its Canadian debut at the Toronto show is Mazda's newest MX-5 Miata limited-edition model.

The 2008 MX-5 Special Version is based on the MX-5 GT trim with Power Retractable Hardtop.

The new, special-edition MX-5 is finished in unique Icy Blue exterior and includes Saddle Brown leather interior with blue stitching, interior and exterior chrome accents, white lens high-mount stop lamps, and exclusive 17-inch wheel design.


Cayenne GTS is really hot. Like the exterior enhancements, the quad buckets, and MT. Wonder how much they'll sticker in Canada for? $80-something?

Must be. Passat CC and Routan are, and they go on sale much later.
