If anything, I see the FRS/BRZ taking some Miata buyers.
i agree! even though the car is loved for it's handling prowess
one has to be realistic,in that most of us drive on city streets,and straight highways to get to where we are going,so the car may "feel" great as a driver,however most of us don't really care about that. most care about dependability,reliability,and economy over time,and yes a vehicle's ability
haul people and cargo.this is why the car will always have a limited market.
