The SkyActiv engine/drivetrain is about more efficiency. So that means better fuel economy and better power. The Miata currently gets underwhelming fuel economy for the weight and power rating that it is. With the new engines, they can easily make it have a better power to weight ratio and better fuel economy than the BRZ/FRS.

I haven't liked the newer gen Miatas ever since they came out. Compared to the old one, the interior looks cheaper, the exterior looks uglier, the seats and steering wheel feel worse, the shifter felt notchier, and the car doesn't have as much feel overall IMO.
