130hp seems a bit low, especially since torque will probably also be low. Would prefer ~150hp NA or maybe an option for 170-180hp with FI.

My guess is that it will end up like the ND if it comes to the US. In Europe/Asia the MX-5 has a 1.5L with 129hp, but the US got a 2.0L with 155hp.
Given the specs we're hearing rumors of now, could it share an engine with the MX-5? Wouldn't be out of the question. Plus it would follow Toyota's method of building a sports car and sourcing the engine from someone they're currently partnered with.
