At Miata Reunion in October 2023, FM's Keith Tanner had the pleasure to sit down and chat with the core of the original Miata design team. "Miata Papa" Tom Matano, Bob Hall, Mark Jordan, Norman Garrett, and Ken Saward discuss the past and future of the Miata and tell some amazing stories from their time working on our favorite little convertible. Hear first hand accounts of the Miata's inspirations, challenges and thoughts of the future from these Miata legends from the beautiful Sonoma Raceway in California.
Special thanks to Rick and the Miata Reunion team for putting this together and letting us be a part of such a memorable event.
