Well no one wanted turbo 4s ever. Look what we have now.
Meh, a four has its place. A V6 is a nasty thing. A straight six or a boxer is a totally different thing. But none of them belong in a Miata.

Frankly, the ND is about perfect. I've driven it and the Abarth and would prefer the n/a version unless I lived at altitude. Both are faster than the GT86 and don't have the stupid torque dip of that poor motor.
