Smart cars and the like excluded are there any cars under 2,500 lbs. at this point? Miata, Abarth, and Fiesta ST are the only cars I can think of under 2,600 worth noting.

Yeah, Alfa has been gone so long I want them to come back successfully, they need something up market from Fiat at this point, like Hyundai 5-10 years ago nobody is taking them seriously.

Coming back with a Spider with Mazda's help was a surefire way to success as long as the quality is there and the price is right, I really hope they haven't bitten off more than they can chew.

Mazda themselves never claimed anything close to 1800 lbs. Some magazine picked up some rumor from some hotshot and everyone ran with it, as always. The Lotus Elise barely comes under 2000 lbs, in the most spartan trim levels. I believe them when they say 200 lbs lighter than the current car, but which current car? The PRHT adds 75 lbs...

You seem to be under the impression that strat and I are the same person. :popcorn:

Edit: SkyActiv Diesels are turbo'd, that could be interesting... And of course it could be a dummy or on purpose leak.

Edit 2: Accidentally implied that Mazda wanted the Miata to have a tarbo, fix'd.

Mazda MX-5 vs. Abarth Spider

FCA version of Mazda is Abarth (Fiat), not Alfa Romeo!!!

Mule spotted on Jalopnik is an Abarth "Spider"(?) powered by the FIAT 1.4l turbo engine.

See Fiat and Alfa Romeo Plan: there is no Alfa Romeo Spider scheduled, except the 4C Spider, which obviously is not the twin of the MX-5. The later car for 2018 is the 6C (Maserati Alfieri) or 8C (Maserati GranTurismo). On the other hand, the Abarth Spider ("Specialty") scheduled for the end of 2015 is both Europe and the US.

@strat61caster: SkyActive engines are both petrol and Diesel compressed 14:1.
That's high for petrol, low for Diesel.
Diesel has Turbo, petrol doesn't.
