But if <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/gallery\/review-2009-mazda-mx-5-miata\/#12\">bright schoolbus yellow <\/a>just isn&#8217;t your bag, baby, may we suggest something a little more subtle?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/make\/mazda\/\">Mazda<\/a> has just rolled out the MX-5 Matte and Black Special Edition at the 21st annual Salon du Cabriolet, Coup&eacute; &amp; SUV in Paris. Ostensibly to celebrate the Miata&#8217;s 20th birthday in France, we kinda think Mazda just wanted to prove that its sportscar looks pretty darn good in the automotive equivalent of the little black dress. And boy, does it ever.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing special underhood, so the 2.0-liter four still puts out an adequate 167 horsepower. We can&#8217;t say that we see them in the photos ourselves (fortunately), but design label LK by Laure Kczekotowska Paris has reportedly decked the MX-5 out in rhinestones, gems, and crystals. Ah well, nothing can be perfect.
