Mazda says Miata 'will continue to exist forever'.
the current fourth-generation ND will continue to be updated, with no threat of being removed from the company's lineup.
“How do you stay true to the concept of what the car stands for taking it into the next generation of technologies?” ten Brink said, referring to the ND's successor. “That’s not been decided. But I think for Mazda it would be fair to say that the MX-5 will never die." Each generation of the MX-5 has a life-cycle of about eight years. Going by that timeline, we should expect to see the next-generation car, likely called the NE, by the end of 2025. Nothing's been officially confirmed just yet, of course.
“I think [the MX-5] will continue to exist forever and it will have to go with the times," ten Brink told."That’s a super challenge, and people are passionate about this car in Mazda. Of course, as you can imagine, people have opinions on which direction it should go. So I’m very curious where it will end up, but it will definitely remain part of the lineup.”
