Performance-wise, it's basically a hard top MX5. That will be a great little car, but it really can't touch the Z -- a point recently confirmed in a vid of an autox shootout, BTW.
I'm really hoping they offer a factory boosted version -- that would be a Z killer and have tons of potential!
In current form it really only trumps the Z in specific driver-oriented qualia (e.g., feeling of "connectedness"). Otherwise it's just a lesser car all the way around.
High hopes for a FI variant, tho'.
