Just read about the upcoming 15% power increase, That makes the absence of a proper Coupe in place of the flawed RC an even greater tragedy. An MX5 with an opening rear hatch and greater luggage space could have been a future downsizing option...

They already make that. It’s called the Toyota GT86/Subaru BRZ.

And for £3,500, Lichfield with bolt a supercharger kit on to your GTBRZ86 and take it up to 280bhp.

Or at least they did five years ago.

Must admit I do like the GT86, especially without the rear wing on, which takes it up a level in visual sophistication imo. I do, however think the MX is more 'jewel like', and I'm a big fan of small cars.
