Joining the new Mazda Kiyora Concept, Mazda6 equipped with a new MZR-CD 2.2L turbo diesel and a Mazda2 equipped with MZ-CD 1.6L diesel at the 2008 Paris Motor Show will be the facelift to the Mazda MX-5 roadster.

Before Mazda designers go ahead and give the MX-5 a total radical makeover in 2012, Mazda will keep the roadster fresh with a minor facelift that gives it an aggressive feel to its front fascia. As you can see from the one image released by Mazda, the 2009 Mazda MX-5 will get a new grille, new headlamps and new fog lamps.

Unfortunately, Mazda has canceled plans to build a MazdaSpeed version of the MX-5.
