Looks aside, I really think this will be the deciding factor on whether this car will be successful. A lightweight, fun, trackable package is what made the miata into such a cult car, many miata owners even think its girly/ugly/etc.. but they don't care because of the pure fun factor when behind the wheel. If BMW can give us something like that, then I think they will have a new small halo car on their hands!
