Implications for car generations and variants

create alias eunos_roadster -> mazda_mx-5

Something that has to be addressed before I do generation tags for this car.

A while back MX-5 and Miata were aliased to Eunos Roadster as alternate names, but it was a bit of a short-sighted and uninformed proposal on my end. For one thing the name "Eunos Roadster" is an outdated name - the first gen Miata was released as part of Mazda's short-lived Eunos sub-brand in Japan, but the following generations were under the main Mazda brand, meaning the Eunos name doesn't apply to any of the others or foreign releases of the first gen. Secondly, the MX-5 name is the name that the car is better known by internationally - Roadster branding is exclusively used in Japan (and fairly ambiguous on it's own as the term roadster also refers to a certain style of car in the same way that coupe or sedan does), while MX-5 has been used in almost all of the rest of the world outside of the US (until recently).

Aside from being the name used for it's Wikipedia page, it is also the name used for the single-make Mazda MX-5 Cup motorsport series, it's now used on the official US website alongside the name Miata (US models are even released with MX-5 badges), and even the Facebook marketplace requires sellers to use MX-5 in place of Miata outside of Japan.
