Wasn't it actually called the MX-5 Miata in North America anyway? I understand Miata is just what it's commonly refered to as over there? I seem to recall reading that the NC is now just MX-5 and they have dropped the Miata bit, so they could call it MX-5 everywhere (not sure about Japan though)?

You betcha - I contacted all the PA Miata folks that I know and told them to post here. ;-D
Actually if I'd really done that, there'd be a whole lot more than 5!

Mazda clearly wanted to eliminate the 'Miata' name in the US, but after just one year they seem to have given up as evident by the 2008 models on the MazdaUSA web site once again being called the "MX-5 Miata."
Most likely. Many of these people would not, of course, drive white Miatas. Here in Florida we prefer quality over quantity.

Interesting thought from a guy with 2 Miatas ;-)

99BBBHey Steve, happy to have you weigh in! That puts CA at 4 with TX. Hopelessly trailing both PA and the U.K.!
Thanks, Chris

Treating the UK as a state is probably giving us an unfair advantage mind, Chris! Though seeing as it's a US-based newsgroup, things are probably evened up a bit ;)

Chelmsford, Essex, UK where it is raining right now. Got a Blue 2.0 Coupe. The top is slower than a manual rag top to put up when it rains unexpectedly but it does mean we don't have to be quite so careful where we park.
They are both white!

Yeah, but ... I'm on my *2nd* Miata. Does that give The Golden State 5?

Well, if you get to count your 2nd Miata, then so do I - and that gives PA 6!

not bad if you can get it!

99BBBJack, speaking of puzzled ....... the gentleman who posted the click and clack item also gave me his location. As I was typing in his town, Excel finished typing it for me ........ whoa, that's cool, maybe I'll be able to hook up two guys in the U.K. who don't even know each other. Boy was I surprised when it was your town here in the U.S. that had been previously typed into the spreadsheet. I was about to send you a note about this 'sister city' of sorts when, lo and behold, you were the very next post. Oh, Jack already caught it I thought but, no, looks like you didn't. Chelmsford, MA and Chelmsford in the U.K. pretty cool, eh?
Also, this puts the U.K. ahead of even the (apparent) great miata state of PA! Chris
