Honestly, in order to appeal to the mass market I think Toyota should have made a convertible version. Go after the very large segment of Miata and S2000 buyers who bought them simply because it's a sporty roadster. The people who don't care how the car performs on the track, but just want something that is small, looks good, and has a roof that folds down. They won't complain about power because.. well, they're the sort of people who would buy a Miata or S2000. And nobody expects a convertible to have a ton of room in the back seats.

A great example of this consumer is my boss's wife, who loves the way the Toyobaru looks but wants a convertible. I think there are plenty of people like this out there, and Toyota could score some decent sales by appeasing them.

(I do NOT think more power is the answer to greater sales)
