I'm seeing sub-6s times for the Miata, with mid-14s at 94-95 mph. It's not appreciably slower (in a straight line) than an S2000. This car would easily be sub-5s 0-60 and mid 13s in the 1/4 mile.

Hopefully the Multipla is next. Could use the front seats for 3.

And I wonder if they will be built in Italy or Japan, which might effect quality, but I'm all for an Italian looking, more powerful Miata. Just not those renderings above - they are hideous.

Dude, Cosmos, what happened to you? You used to be such a nice guy. Now you only ever rip on cars. Did somebody rustle your jimmies? Is this because you own a GT3?

One would hope they would make it less of so obviously a Miata derivative. Even GM got the Solstice and Sky to look more different than that.

I seriously doubt they'll be made in Italy as FIAT is already made around the world. Alfa Romeo will remain made in Italy only according what Sergio has reported to the press.

I've been driving for nearly 50yrs and owned more cars than I can easily remember.

My family knows that if I start talking about a Fiat or a Volvo it may be time to pull my license

Why's that? Volvo's are sturdy cars and Fiat's are fun to drive.
