Once again, the cat, or in our case, the 2009 MX-5 has been let out of the bag earlier than expected as the first full image gallery of Mazda’s facelifted roadster has just hit the web. This time we have official photos of both the soft- and hard-top versions of the Miata / MX-5. We’re still a bit short on details as Mazda has not released any official info -or any more pics other than this one for that matter. However, apart from the redesigned front-end, the photos reveal that the 2009 MX-5 / Miata also sports new tail lamps and a slightly revised rear bumper. Judging from the pictures, it appears that there aren’t any notable changes in the interior.

Shortly after Suzuki introduced the new Wagon-R and Wagon-R Stingray into the Japanese market, Mazda announced the sales launch of the fully redesigned AZ-Wagon which as you can clearly see in the pictures, is a rebadged version of Suzuki’s kei car. As with the donor vehicle, the AZ-Wagon is offered in two flavours, the standard car and the ‘sportier’ looking Custom Style which is the equivalent of the Suzuki Wagon-R Stingray.

The refreshed 2009 Mazda MX-5 / Miata made its global debut at the Paris Motor Show. The most apparent changes concern the more aggressively styled front end that incorporates elements from Mazda’s newer models like the larger grille as well as new headlights and fog lamp surrounds. Furthermore, Mazda’s designers restyled the side skirts, rear bumper and the tail lights which now feature a more elliptical motif while the alloy designs are also new. Additionally, the hartop Roadster Coupe now sports a mesh grille framed by a chrome ring and chrome detailing on the headlamp inner bezels and outer door handles.

Following its motorshow debut in London earlier this year, Mazda has announced the European market launch of the mildly facelifted BT-50 pickup truck. Exterior updates include the revised front-end that features a new grille and sliver-look headlamps bezels along with new 16-inch alloy wheels for the 4WD models. In the interior, changes are limited to the higher quality fabrics, new seat colors and lighting for the instrument panel, climate and audio controls. The center console is also upgraded with an all-silver look.

While we’re all patiently waiting to see what’s going to happen to the successor of the Mazda6 MazdaSpeed or as it’s called in Europe and other markets, the MPS, the Japanese firm decided to join forces with Troy Lee Designs and introduce a beefed-up variant of the latest generation ‘6′ at the SEMA show. The Troy Lee Mazda6 features the usual visual upgrades that you see on most SEMA show vehicles including a custom paint job, peripheral spoilers and larger 18-inch Momo alloy wheels in Hoosier tires.
