Why are Miatas called hairdresser cars?
Over time, Mazda made attempts to drop the Miata name from the MX-5 in North America. It is theorised that part of the reason for this was to combat the stigma of the MX-5 being a “girl's car” or “hairdresser's car”. The MX-5 nameplate sounded more masculine, and so Mazda was keen to drop Miata.
