I saw a 993 today. I thought the 996 was small compared to the modern 911's; the 993 was looking diminutive in comparison, especially next to the modern cars and SUVs. It made my 86 look big. Even a 996 makes the 86 look big, but this was next level. I don't know why there is always a 6 foot tall 200lb middle aged man cramming himself into one of these. These things are Miata sized and makes me want something smaller than a 86 or Cayman like a RF Miata like a classic, true sports coupe that hugged a driver. It is painful how big and heavy these cars keep getting. I'll Toro a Cayman and maybe it'll be something that scratches off the list if I agree with you and loathe the long gearing. And then there was will be one. The RF Miata is an unnecessary convertible for someone who doesn't use a convertible, necessarily introducing the chance of leaks, weight and complexity, so that is off the list. Toyota needs to hurry up with a GR MR2 with the G16E-GTS already. They can take my money right now if it was sub-2600lbs and Miata sized with 300hp.
