2016 Mazda MX-5 Crashes Minutes After Purchase, Free Replacement Offered

The launch of the 2016 Mazda MX-5, which is marketed as the Miata in the U.S., hogged technology and motoring headlines for a while with its much applauded design. Florida Weekly, for instance, managed to write the most appropriate descriptions as it called the vehicle the "perfect roadster," "home run of design," "affordable," and "underappreciated."

The glowing reviews were edged out, however, by an odd news involving the Miata recently. A couple crashed it mere minutes after purchasing the new Launch Edition from the Tom Bush Mazda dealership in Jacksonville, Fla. A Ford F-150 rear-ended the brand new roadster, and then pushed it into another car in front, Car Scoops reported. The passengers were unharmed, but the car was a wreck.
