When General Motors introduced the Chevrolet Beretta in 1987, the lukewarm-to-warm economically-minded coupe wore the name of a gun manufacturer. An intentional decision, the Beretta name made the new model sound more exciting. Prior to the launch, the other Beretta (the gun company) warned The General not to use its name. GMs executives simply ignored the warning.

Patent documents show that Mazda is working on an electric-vehicle setup -- and one of the drawings is suspiciously Miata-looking. So I am asking you -- is the idea of an electric or hybrid Mazda Miata sacrilegious? To me, it kind of is. I am far from being anti-EV, but I believe that as long as the internal combustion engine exists, it should be the motivator of choice for certain models.

Rumors have been percolating that the next Mazda Miata might be an electric vehicle, or at least electrifed. Yes, I know the buffs had this about a week ago (we have a small team, remember), but it's worth digging into a bit. To be clear, it appears that the Miata will still have a gas engine and available manual transmission, at least for one more generation, but European patent documents filed in April show a Miata-looking vehicle with an electric motor in the front.
