Assuming it's what you saw, could be final production model testing, or local homologation testing.

While speaking with my Mazda dealer today regarding the delivery of my new BT-50, I happened to ask about this very thing, He laughed.

Re: Are they here yet?
Eh, they're likely to be out there. We saw the Camaro running around Melbourne a good two years before it went on sale in the US, and Vectras were seen here 18 months before release - I went to a clinic for the Vectra about a year before its release locally, so that would have been after the local specs and mods were finalised.

Re: Are they here yet?
Mazda Head office is located in Victoria, if they did have one in Australia for testing it's very unlikely it would be seen on a main road in Northern Sydney......
Besides the OP claims "I saw the new MX this morning" when posting at 5:59am?....... REALLY?
Well he does claim it was black so maybe it was actually the Batmobile!

Sunbaker, I thought I saw you cruising in your home town of Broken Hill earlier today...how could you be in Sydney, especially when Woolworths Mildura is closer to pick up your groceries....

Here is a rather sexy rendering of what a modern day interpretation of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider could look like as a re-skinned ND. Pure speculation of course, but it would look damn fine in my garage.

Re: Are they here yet?
guys Nevyn mentioned the Batmobile and leads me to my little story. Last week whilst walking the dog and crossing a side street and lo and behold arrives the Batmobile- excellent condition and a great eye catching vehicle. It was complete with the masked crusader and a young lady in the passenger seat- but no room for Robin. I gave Batman the thumbs up and he asked me if I had seen any criminals around the area. I responded no and he remarked that he must be doing his job very well. Another thumbs up from me and he hangs a turn and disappears up the street with red light flashing. It made my morning- who gets to see Batman when out walking the dog in a suburban street- my lucky day.
Now I believe in Batmobiles so just maybe there is an MX5 of the latest generation ready to pass you as you pick up the paper or walk the dog.
