It’s easy for enthusiasts to complain about limited editions of widely available sports cars, which are often expensive and ornate, but we just can’t bring ourselves to resent the 35th Anniversary Edition Miata,

The 35th Anniversary Edition is similar to the Grand Touring trim, which means features like heated seats, and Mazda says it has added a limited-slip differential, additional bracing, and some newly tuned Bilstein dampers. There's also a beige convertible roof and some shiny 17-inch alloy wheels.

An electrified Mazda MX-5 Miata is, as we say here at MotorTrend, InEVitable. Even though Mazda hasn’t kept its intentions to juice up its signature sports car with electrons a secret, the thought of one of the market’s last remaining driver-focused roadsters losing its gas-only purity is a bittersweet thought.
