Most of them don't. The MX-5 does very well as the niche car that it is but if there was that big of a market for that kind of car, I would have expected the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky to do a little better.

The Sky and Solstice were not particularly good handling cars with more weight and less power than the BRZ or FRS. If the BRZ/FRS does as well as the MX-5 does in its niche, I think all involved will consider it a success. It is, after all, a niche car itself not Toyota's replacement for the Corolla

This is getting a bit off-topic, but the Solstice/Sky failed because it was a parts bin car. It wasn't a design directive. Bob Lutz just threw GM parts into a roadster. It was less practical than the Miata. With the top down, you had no storage. And it wasn't a significantly better car.

The Miata's sales have slowed over the years, but it has had a long run of success.
