Hahahaha...thats the funniest uninformed nonsense in this thread.

You need to study your automotive history just a bit. StraightSix has it right.
The Miata not only revived the whole class of affordable rear wheel drive roadsters, inspired all manner of amateur spec racing, it has gone on to become the worlds top selling sportscar.
So, like it or not, the ghey little Miata/MX5 is an icon.
