That is good to hear. On the Miata it is mostly the styling that bugs me...just looks too pretentious, like it wants to be a BMW.
On the ''2'', if it doesn't gain weight, that is obviously good... but still, I want a small car not something the size of a school bus, even if it does weigh-in light.
EDIT: I would like to see a ''Kei'' class car thing get going here in NA....give the mfg's some parameters and let them have at it to see who can do the most with it.
