I see no reason it won't be. They fixed the one issue with the car and didn't seem to mess with the rest of the formula too much.
It would be great if they upped the refinement level some to match the MX-5’s, specifically in interior appointments, engine note, and ride quality. The higher rigidity of the new chassis should allow for more of the latter without sacrificing handling. And the engine sounds a bit better in videos. But without using front wishbones (as the MX-5 does) maybe there is only so much that can be done for the ride/handling balance. (Porsche itself has gone to front wishbones on its new GT3.)
