Ditch the folding top mechanism and storage area and there's another 6-8 inches. So you have a good food of length that can be used for what is essentially an emergency seat under a tall hatch. This could definitely work.

Maybe the world will finally get its Miata coupe after all.
Wow. This all actually makes a lot of sense, especially considering the rumours from six months ago of the next generation Toyota 86 being based off of the MX-5 chassis. In the end, it was this new coupe all along.
