He didn't really give any good reasons why he liked it, and even admitted there was a good bit of brake fade. Half the time I couldn't understand what he was going on about, it was just a lot of dorifto.I don't think this car is aimed at the type of person that is shopping Corvettes, or the mentality that you describe here. If you were considering a Miata as a fun, small, efficient runabout, you now have two options at reasonable price points. Finally, another manufacturer has realized that there is so much more to a car than a loud rumble and 500 hp ready to kill you. Besides, if they wanted to attack the Corvette crowd, they would've tried to find a way to put a V8 in there, and there is no doubt that somebody is going to try to do that in the very near future...
The car looked and sounded underpowered to me. Might be a good tuner platform, but a car like that is not going to sway me from a V8 two seater in the future.
