I don't think this thing is going to have as good of a suspension design as a Miata. It's just going to be a low cost option.

Engine should be fine for the weight (lighter than the 1.5L ND Miata with the same amount of power) and if it's a turbo like some speculate there will be more than 130 on tap for those who want it. A <2,200 lb curb weight with RWD, fixed roof, and CHEAPER than an FR-S is very exciting.
Power is cheap compared to weight reduction.
I think you're right on the suspension though, the only business case that makes sense over here is a small cheap high mpg city car, start tallying up all the things this does and the money disappears mighty quick.
