Perhaps they could cook up a supercharged flat 4 in something the size of the new Toyota MR2...but with adequate head and leg room for us tall people.
That's a good point about hold-overs of older cars.

As for engine - that 2.0 FSI (or whatever) that's in the new GTI is supposed to be incredible. See that in a 914 mid-engine layout, at about a Miata's weight, and even Lotus would stand up and take notice.

Not that anyone cares about Lotus, really.
