Also, I miss their Rx-7 niche

But after most real JDM cheap sports cars 'left' the MX5 has been there, but just there
you can get a miata for like 23k. also, typically two seater convertibles are more expensive than the 4 seater coupes and the aftermarket for the frs is abolutely dismal compared to that of the miata. imo, mazda is the only company that hasnt forgot about the cheap light rwd car. in over 20 years the miata has only gained a couple hundred pounds.
