Agreed, except this time, make the interior large enough to accomodate tall people like me. That goes for the Miata too!

It’s nice to see at least one journalist take notice of a great car

Always loved the Chevrolet El Camino as well great blend of a truck & a car, and you don't see many of those either.

Personally I'd love to see a new 7 thats maybe a bit retro. Build it off the Miata platform and style it with a bit of 1st gen cues. I think thatd be sweet.

What a bunch of useless cars on that list lol. I'd like to see a return of the 2nd gen MR-2!

Some of those cars are crap. I am almost insulted that the rx7 got grouped with those vehicles.

The MR2 is nice. I had an 1985 when I was in high school.

How did the 1988 Fiero compare to the 2nd Gen MR-2? They're both rare and mid-engine... I would think that the MR-2 was built better and capable of handling more power, though (wouldn't think the little V6 could go too far)... the MR-2 was a mini-supercar.

Fieros caught fire. That was a standard feature.

And unlike the MR2, Fieros handled like the parts bin collage they were - Chevy Chevette and Citation parts bins, to be precise for the suspension. The last 1/2 year of production they finally threw some work into the suspension, but by then the reputation for cramped, ill-handling firetraps was set.
