I'd still like to see an MX-5 coupe. Nothing on the horizon at all, though.

Sports cars for today and the near (next 5 years) tomorrow?

How about a lightweight two seat convertible, weighs 2500 lbs. or LESS, front engine rear drive, good fit/finish, Miata handling, AND 35 mpg highway. Light, agile, efficient, high quality. Rear trunk big enough for a set of sticks.
In other words:
A Miata with Porsche/BMW build quality.
A Z3 with better handling, and lose a few pounds.
A modern, updated 944, lose a few.
A Solstice that a human can fit in, add handling, improve reliability.
A Triumph GT-6 that's reliable. (It was well under 2500 lbs. by the way, closer to 2000 and had 150 hp in non-US/emission screwed-up trim).
A 2002tii with two less seats, and a fastback shape.
An Alfa Romeo spyder/coupe built by the Japanese.

Maybe the Chinese will figure it out. (Here's your chance China! Help us out here!)
