The early rumor / speculation / info from Best Car Plus magazine (which is floating around everywhere else but here) was that the weight was going to be <1000kgs and it was using a 120hp 1.5 2NZ-FE. This original plan was to keep the price <$12,500.

I'd hope they would give us a more powerful engine, even if that meant increasing weight to 1100-1300 and the price to $18-25k. If not, this won't be much of an upgrade over my NA miata. I guess it'll have a 6-speed, so 75mph on the freeway shouldn't require 4000rpm, so that'll be a nice upgrade!
