The only reason we're getting a new Miata is because of Alfa.
Might also be a tough sell put up against the new mustangs and camaros which will have significantly more power.

Well you make a good point. Mazda is doing better (actually profitable):

But, a lot can happen. Mazda will need the 6 and 3 to be a hit like the CX-5 was. If the 3 is a big hit (and all indications are that it is at the top of it's segment) we could see another RX. But like I said, Mazda would be wise to follow what Tada did with the FT86 and make is a more affordable sportscar.
