The biggest hurdle to the Miata is public image. Outside of mazda and racing circles, the Miata is considered a chick car. As anyone you know that is not knowledgeable about cars and that is what they will tell you. More power will not fix this, styling changes may, a hard top even more possible. But piblic image and reputation is a big ass hurdle....

It is funny you bring this up - I have known more men to own these cars than women. Most women I talk to that are semi-interested in cars think they are gay. It seems to me that as people age they grow an appreciation for the more simplistic things in life, like the pleasure of driving a Miata. Women want something that looks cute or whatever. A Miata doesn't really fit that either.

And as far as I can tell, there are no hurdles with the Miata. It is the most sold sports car of all time, and it continually sells extremely well.

I, like that new guy that I've not seen post at all in BAW named I Love Pop Up Lights, have to say that a Mazdaspeed variant of the new Miata would be most excellent.
