Honestly, a manual softtop is preferable to a retractable hardtop IMO. Hardtop convertibles usually look kind of odd and they don't help in terms of structural rigidity while adding cost and lots of weight. Perhaps I'm oversensitive because my MR2 Spyder chassis was kind of floppy.

lol, it's not going to be the 155hp engine. The NC did not use a standard 2L MZR, and the ND will not use a standard Skyactiv 2L from a Mazda3. Mazda even made a comment about the false speculation about 155hp. It's gonna be faster than an FRS, period.
