"Road & Track dug up a VIN filing from Mazda to NHTSA with information about the Miata for that model year. On one of the pages, it states that the 2019 Miata will have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 181 net brake horsepower."
"Yesterday I was at the first SkyActiv-X testdrive in Portugal, and Martijn ten Brink (VP Sales at Mazda Motor Europe) has indeed told me that the 2019 MX-5 will receive a 2.0 SkyActiv-G with a reworked head, it will have more power and will be more rev-hungry."
