But hasn't Mazda used the Miata (MX-5) to fill a niche market?
I'd say, with their latest offering, that the Miata has stayed true to it's roots, even after 25 years. From here:
we can see that the twins still sell significantly more than the Miata, though less compared to how well the Miata sold 10+ years ago.
I believe there is still hope.
