This is another example of why focus groups don't always work. What people say they want and what they actually want are often not the same.

2nd edit: I would enjoy owning the ND Miata, I just don't want it enough to pay that much for it. All previous generations of Miata still do not want.
Actually sort of got the root of issue in the second edit. Enthusiasts will tell you exactly what they want but when it shows up they say "Why so much money. They are just ripping us off"
