Mazda will officially unveil the 2009 Mazda MX-5 Miata at the Chicago auto show next week, but the car is already on display at the Washington D.C. auto show, which is going on right now in the nation’s capital.

The front end gets some tweaks from the previous version, but other changes are almost indecipherable. In the brownish-orange color above, with the chrome-encircled grille, the Miata now has more of a real face than almost any car we’ve seen since Herbie the Love Bug. We’ll have more info on improved gas mileage and new suspension options next week, but for now check out more images below.
