Mazda Miata vs. Toyota GR86
The last two lightweight, affordable, rear-drive sports cars face off. Both shine!
There are no losers here. This is not a cop-out, a case of a wishy-washy writer not wanting to draw a conclusion here. My mind overflows with thoughts on these two, but the main thing is that we as car enthusiasts are damn lucky that we have two affordable, world-class rear-wheel drive sports cars. In a slightly more rational world, Mazda would not sell a Miata, and Toyota would not sell a GR86. We can also foresee a not-too-distant future where they don't exist, or exist in a very different form.
