Another Mazda fan, but have not owned anything recently. I had an '81 RX-7 that was flawless and an absolute joy to drive. Would love to have it back.

That said, why doesn't Mazda make a $50K-ish sports car. Something real, not a "sporty" econobox. I don't know much about the RX-8, but that is not what I have in mind. I mean something that would compete on performance and handling with the more expensive brands, similar to what Lotus did. Miata/MX-5 is certainly capable from a purely numbers standpoint, but that is not really what I have in mind either.

I don't know, it just seems like with Mazda styling, reputation and durability, if they could build a real sportscar, they would have a following!!
