You're right about Mazda keeping themselves light and in the market with the Miata, but I was comparing apples to apples

6speed vs 6speed versions of the car (Both new and 2013 models)

that which is this much

Plus for 300lbs more, you get a hard roof, trunk, more interior space, more power and torque.

What I want to conclude at is: Mazda has kept this 'great' formula for years. But what they NEED to do is innovate and make it better, now that Toyobaru is hurting them and Nissan wants a piece of the cake, like that fat kid in elementary
