 Hey everybody, this is Sean with The Verge and we're here at the New York Auto Show. We just saw our first big reveal of the show, the Mazda MX-5 RF. Now if this car looks a little familiar, that's because Mazda released an MX-5 Miata last year. The difference here is that this has got a Targa top. Now if you're unfamiliar with the Targa top, Porsche started it back in 1966 with the Porsche 911 Targa. And instead of your normal hard top, it lifts up, moves back and goes underneath an entire back plate that encompasses the entire back windshield. It's a little unique and it's a little tricky to understand if you haven't seen it before. Now of course it's not just Mazda and Porsche that have made Targa top cars in the past. We've seen Chevrolet's, Ferraris, Alfa Romeos, but to see one announced at this show when we were only really expecting just a normal hard top version of the MX-5 is a nice surprise. Now we don't know too much more about what's going to happen with this car. All we know is that this is a prototype. We're not allowed to sit in it unfortunately. And the pre-orders will start later this summer. Otherwise you can expect it to be pretty similar to the MX-5. Relatively affordable, maybe around $30,000 or $40,000. And it'll basically give you that same kind of roadster performance at thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars cheaper than most of Mazda's competitors in this category. Now of course this is just the first of many big announcements this week at the New York Auto Show. So to catch all of that, make sure you go to theverge.com and head to youtube.com slash the vergon.
