The 1987 Mazda MX-6, the first generation of this popular sports coupe, marked the arrival of a new era for Mazda. Built on the same platform as the Ford Probe, the MX-6 was a stylish and sporty offering aimed at a younger, more performance-oriented audience. It was a departure from Mazda's more conservative offerings, featuring sleek lines, a raked windshield, and a long, flowing hood. Under the hood, the MX-6 was powered by a 2.2-liter four-cylinder engine, offering both a naturally aspirated version and a turbocharged option. The MX-6 offered a blend of sporty handling, comfortable interior, and a range of engine options, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking a fun and affordable coupe.

The 1987 MX-6's success was further cemented by its innovative features. A particular highlight was the optional "G-Limited" package, which included a turbocharged engine, leather seats, and a sunroof. The 1987 MX-6 was also one of the first cars to feature a driver's airbag as an optional safety feature. Though it was criticized for its lack of interior refinement and slightly underpowered base engine, the MX-6's sporty handling, attractive design, and affordability made a significant impact on the sports coupe market. It helped establish Mazda as a player in the performance car segment and laid the foundation for the successful MX-6 lineage that would continue for several more generations.
