The "rumor" is a 1L engine would be in the US version. If it ends up being like the one in my Fiesta, expect 0-60 in 8ish seconds.

Oh I'm totally incorrect, but people won't buy these for the same reason nobody buys a BRZ/FR-S.

I see the bit in the C&D article about a 6'2" driver just fitting & operating this thing. I wonder if one the seats meant to "create space" in an MX-5 would help here if someone was a bit over 6'2" and wanted to enjoy being in one of these cars...
