It also usually takes a "ground up, all new" design to achieve. If the bean counters say nope, you have to use the same old platform and can only change the body panels things get really difficult.
Porsche often starts with a fresh empty computer screen or a concept drawing, and the 911 just keeps getting bigger and bigger.
I have to give Mazda respect, the Miata is very close in weight to the original car, unlike the new "Mini" that is twice the size as the original.
