I would think the miata sales would not impact a "hardcore" sports car (not knocking the miata at all). The casual buyer sees oh look, cute convertible, or my god, 155hp? My camaro blah blah blah. The enthusiasts see a good handling toy to take to the track. A rx-7, or mx-7, whatever, with a hardtop coupe shape that taller people can actually comfortably fit in and an actual trunk space you can live with (in comparison to the miata) and maybe ~300hp 3000lb or a hair less (one can dream lol) with good handling and 0-60 numbers would yield a much higher casual buyer market, and enthusiasts would love it too.
Contrary to the legions of jalopnik, miata is not always the answer, as good as they are.
