1995 Mazda Mystere Convertible: what could have been.

Last Updated:

 

While I do remember the Mazda 626, and its coupe version, the MX-6. I had never heard of the Mystere until I saw these photos. (Myster was the name of the MX-6 in Canada)
The MX-6  (and its cousin, the Ford Probe) was a very nice looking coupe. And, as you can see on these pictures, it would have made a great convertible.
I guess this would have competed with the super popular Chrysler LeBaron Convertible. As well as convertible versions of the Toyota Celiaca and Nissan 240ZX.
The Mystere was not a concept. But a real project intended for production. As a factory-built convertible version of the MX-6.
Not sure why the project didn’t go through…
There are so many cars like these. Things that were designed and built, but never saw the light of day…

  1. The 2nd generation Mazda MX6 was a very attractive automobile. I used to love those cars, and platform mate Ford Probe GT also. It doesn't surprise me at all that it made a very nice looking convertible.

  2. If this is from 1995, it would've mostly competed with the Chrysler Sebring convertible. The LeBaron convertible ended after 1995.

  3. I actually think that looks better as a convertible than it did as a coupe. And I love that front end – how did we ever get from this to the huge grills that are all the rage now?
