2009 Mazda MX-5 - new official images

The Paris Auto Show is just a few days away, but this doesn’t mean we can’t get information and images about what we will see there. Although we got to see the first official image earlier this month, here are some new pics of the facelifted 2009 Mazda MX-5.

The facelift features only minor changes: new grille, restyled bumper, new fog light inserts and headlights. Nothing impressive under the hood either: the engine line-up remains unchanged: there will be the 126 hp 1.8-liter (Europe only) or the 160 hp 2.0-liter. The engines will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission.

It won’t be 2012 until there will be an all-new MX-5, which company executives promise will have "more balls".

More pics after the jump.
