Or maybe a next gen Miata instead of the Solstice.

Hmm...
OK, first of all, I've not made a post like that in months!

Now... I think a Miata would be best over a solstice. Mazda knows how to build a fun, small car. You'd have to take GM's word that they do. Plus I rather have Mazda's reliability. More importantly, since it would be a dedicated (right?) Autox car, the aftermarket/mods part of it would be huge and the Miata clearly wins there.
