In that case it isn't just Mazda that should have a car named the Miata.

[1964 S1]

You Guys! You who pick on the French, a country that builds excellent cars, you pick on the Japanese, who also build excellent cars. What's your point? In the words of Rodney King, can't we all just get along? The Miata is a terrific little unibodied sports car first built by the Japanese in 1989. How could anyone else take credit for it? Who knows how many Miatas have been sold?
