In Europe - yes
In the US - We will get the bigger 2.0L only and the option for an auto.

Cons:
-Still very underpowered
-STILL has soft stock suspension with lots of body roll (I really hate this one)
-4 Lug wheels (WHY?!)
This makes for a car that I would buy a cheap used version of when they become available strictly to have as a toy/tuner project, but not a car I would drop $20-$30k on to purchase new. Oh well. Such is typical of the Miata, I suppose.

Added a Pro.
What is wrong with 4 lug wheels? Mazda races the snot out of Miatas and the 4 lugs are perfectly adequate for the worse abuse in autoX, roadracing and rally/rallyX. Are you talking styling?
