The ND Miata is exciting because it'll be the cheapest, lightest, RWD car -- rumored to weigh in around 2200 lbs. That said, unless they release a coupe version or it comes with a rollover bar that passes track inspection, I won't be buying one.
Also I think calling the Twins a plain McD cheeseburger while the ND Miata is apparently a charbroiled BK burger with toppings sells the Twins far short. I spent the past weekend in my 350z, and took the FR-S into work today. It was a good reminder of how well Toyota/Subaru nailed the driving experience.
I've driven or owned everything from NA-NC Miatas, S2000's, Evo's, STI's, 350z/370z's, Integras, 240sx's, e36 M3's, Caymans, etc., and the Twins are definitely near or at the top of the heap in terms of responsiveness and driving experience. They're not plain McD cheeseburgers in my mind, more like In-N-Out. Simple but fresh goodness.
