I think turbo was the wrong direction for them to go with the Mazdaspeed Miata, especially with the engine they used. Something like a RWD native K20 would be perfect for the Miata.

I don't mind the 2700 weight in the FR-S/BRZ because it'll likely be much safer than a Miata roadster. That's one of the main selling points I personally see towards the FR-S/BRZ when compared with the Miata.
