People that wanted a turbo'd roadster took the ND1 MX-5 and put a BBR turbo or an Edelbrock SC in it.
The average person is probably afraid of maintaining an 'Italian' car, whereas the Mazda brand is much more tame.
If they really wanted to make some thing special, they should have released the special edition Abarth GT with the carbon fiber hard top. Shame it only came to the EU.

Now that would've been interesting.

Is that just your awkward way of inserting 'oriental' into your post? The sentence structure doesn't flow much but, anyway, I would think that the majority of ppl would say that the Mazda looks better than the Fiat, esp in RF form.
Anyone who considers these cars for size just doesn't get it. That's why the car mkt is like how it is, ppl have limited resources and they want all-in-ones, thereby having to put up w quite a few compromises and why we have, for example, 'M' SUVs, which is ridiculous imo. These Fiata cars are supposed to be less practical and more like toys.
