They are close to the same size. Similar in performance. Different era,
though. The Miata makes a better 'daily driver'.

Great factory wheels, BTW. The lightest factory wheels I've ever seen.

Yes, everyone can own a Miata. That should only add to their appeal as an
extremely fun, affordable 2-seat roadster.

Uh, no comment.

Wrong. A Saturn is just another car. A Miata is an extremely fun,
affordable 2-seat roadster.

Actually, the resale price for the Miata is probably better, considering
inflation. I don't see this changing in the future.

I love mine, too. I also love the Miata. For different reasons. I think
everyone should own both a Roadster and a roadster.

I'd like both.

They're 10 years old, vs. 35, true. But the Miata was a 'classic' from day
one, just like the Roadster.
