I asked this question in a posting at the tail end of another thread, but I didn't get an answer.
I know that NA is 1st gen Miata and NB is 2nd gen, but where do these initials come from? Is it from the VIN or...?
Thanks, John McClary ('94 Miata, NA)

From (the first two letters of) the factory model designations.
M1 and M2 are just nick names, as is Mk1 and Mk2.
I just sold my 95 and it had the "NA" in the VIN. I replaced it with an 03 SE and it has the "NB" in the VIN.
Right, it does relate to the VIN. Just an easy short cut / slang really.
