As the platform will have to accommodate the 2+2 seating in the 86, the next MX5 will have a longer wheelbase so taller drivers will actually be able to fit.

Relatively. About 30% heavier than an MX-5.

Ah, fair enough. I'd not realised it was that much more.

I wonder how much is due to the boxer.
