Getting lighter sounds good, although the thing already corners like it's on rails.
Unless they can keep power up, the smaller motor doesn't sound so hot and EPS... *sigh*.

RX-8 FTW... assuming they fixed that compression in hot climates problem. I never had any problems as far as space goes.. the back seat is impressively roomy (I fit BOTH car seats w/ kiddos in there), and the trunk isn't what my Mazda 3 has, but it has a decent trunk.

And you wanna talk about cornering on rails? You can't beat 50-50 weight distribution.

But then I'm a little biased... and want another RX-8 bad (again, assuming they've figured out those compression issues). I've never driven a Miata, so I'm by no means ragging on them.
