I have a feeling a lot of people will go for a roadster that's simpler and cheaper to own than a Boxster, but slightly larger and sturdier than a Miata. Maybe it's the niche left open by the departure of the S2000. My problem with the Miata is width (I would have to cut off the left arm to own one) and construction (If I had to be in an accident, I'd MUCH rather be in the Boxster). Mazda needs to do three things for the Miata to compete with these upcoming German offerings: 1) widen the cabin a little, 2) stuff a rotary under the hood, and 3) get the thing crash-rated (I haven't seen a rating since the 2005 model year). Alternatively, they could simply improve the looks of the RX-8 and cut the top off. I'd go for either one.
