Back in the very early 1990s I bought a brand new MK1 Mazda MX5 not long after they had been released. Am not out to debate whether or not the MX5 was a good or bad car. There are those who like them and those (and being fair I see where they are coming from) who don't.

Regardless of whether the car was for you it was universally accepted as a car that turned heads, received rave reviews from the press, was considered as the modern day Lotus Elan and was driven almost exclusively by male sportscar enthusiasts.

Nowadays the car has that not taken seriously, girlie, hairdresser image.

What happened?
