Spotting Tips
There is no readily visable change for 2000, but one can determine it is not a '99 M2 by looking for the following items that were discontinued for 2000:
* With the factory steel wheels being discontinued, the only M2s that have them are '99s. The same goes for the 4-spoke steering wheel - If you see one of these on an M2 you know it's a '99 and not a 2000.
* A Fixed antenna on an M2 means it can only be a '99 and not a '00 because they were discontinued for '00.
* Need to see more of the 2000s to find some visual cues (Jan 00)

On a personal note: My wife and I were guest of Mazda at the Chicago auto show for the debut of the two new Miatas. Mazda played a short video of us and then we ran out on stage and pulled the covers off the SEs for the press to see for the first time. Here is a quote from Cars.com:
o "Before uncovering the two latest Miatas, Hughes (CEO of Mazda North America - pictured above with my wife and I)showed journalist a video with the theme "an affair to remember," which featured couples who have owned and loved the Japanese-built sports car in the past. One of the enthusiastic couples, Chris and Andi Lambert from Pensacola, FL, even appeared at McCormick Place South to help with the presentaion."
