The article mentions that the MX5 they tested has a retractable hard top, so I expect that is why it has such a high list price.

That's also a flaw in this and the Autocar comparison. They really should not be comparing the hardtop Miata to the BRZ/FRS IMHO. The hardtop puts the Miata at a disadvantage in terms of price and handling. One of the standard convertible versions would be more realistic.
