Struck me that the MX5 has become curvier and is more like a Z3 than ever?

Not the worst looking 2 seater out there.
Try doing a very long cruise in one.
I did last year on the Limborit, they are not even close to the Z for touring, they are made for ladies going 200 yards down the road to the locale shop.
When we got out of the thing, we were knackered......

No, if you get in a Lotus 7 for example, you know what to expect.
The Jap thing looked comfortable when we picked it up but after all the hours we spent in it, I could not wait to get out and dump it.

The only reason I did it (borrow the MX5) was as a joke to pish every one off on the cruise.
Spectacularly back fired, as no one blinked an eye and I got home with a sore ass after sitting in the bloody thing from 5 in the morning to 1 the next morning..... :(

kinds like its as its a true roadster in some ways, quite cheap and not many affordable new roadster made these days, the z4 isn't a true roadster anymore , but for the money prefer an older 6cyl z3 all day all week , wont depreciate , proper 6cly engine etc. ..
