In part, people just don’t really have an interest in small cars anymore :/ or they at least aren’t buying a whole lot of them new

What puzzles me here is the Alpine A110

It does not have cramped interior or anything and it does comply with modern safety and amenities and it's even lighter than the twins!

Granted of course that I do fully approve of the twins (I happily own one now) but some might argue the BRZ is a small car with small power and mechanicals and breaks and all that. To that argument you can point at the Alpine A110 which is a fast car by modern standards so what's the excuse now for everyone else building a sports car?

Today, all I can think of is the Twins, Alpine A110, Mazda MX-5, some light hot hatches such as the Ford Fiesta ST, Lotus Elise, and that Alpha 4c or something rather. It's a short list of cars.

Other than this, everything out there now is SUV weight territory.
