idk you'd hope Mazda has better market analysis than some guy on the internet. There's a reason we don't get lots of things, cost is high, rewards are low. I can't fathom a reason why they wouldn't sell many things here if they were projected to be profitable, Mazda6 Wagon, M wagons, Renaults, etc.
If Mazda developed a Sky-Activ dildo that was projected to be a billion dollar product they'd fucking create a subsidiary and put it on the market by the end of the year. Corporations have little shame, nor pride when it comes to making profits.

I don't disagree with those points, but that doesn't mean "they tried".
Furthermore, you're forgetting one of the biggest reasons they never took the Miata coupe beyond concept form. At that time Mazda ALREADY had a 2 door fixed roof coupe. Perhaps you've heard of it, it was called the RX-7

Hell, depending on the year they already had TWO 2 door fixed roof coupes - the other being the MX-6.
How many 2 door coupes does Mazda currently have? Oh yeah, zero.
