That’s not really a universal sentiment. For every one person doing a swap there are many more going FI with a built engine, and for every one of them there are so many more just running FI, and for every one of them there are even more running bolt ons, and for every one of them there are even more that are stock.
On the other hand, there is a loud group of car enthusiasts who have begged for more cheap, RWD, light weight cars. These enthusiasts got the twins. The Toyota fan boys didn’t get a Toyota motor. The Honda fan boys didn’t get anything. The Subaru fanboys didn’t get AWD. Etc, etc. They couldn’t please everyone making one car.
Inevitably, lightweight, low powered, sports cars often get swaps. The 240 saw a lot of swaps. The RX7 saw a lot too. The Miata continues to be popular for swaps. The twins will be no different.
