You think our turbos are small...

ha
if you feel inferior just go check out any euro 1.8t
suddenly your peepee will grow
But seriously I think these little turbos are pretty good. as long as they're not choked up by stupid electronics or exhaust parts too much you get a bunch of torque, and decent gas mileage. in a daily driver that's pretty sweet.
if the next miata will have like 220-250hp and similar torque and not weigh more than 2500lb I think it will be a hoot

Yep. I think its an age thing: the older I get the less I care about swinging ******* on the street with a giant turbo and the more I'm happy with a broad powerband and snappy response. My next setup will be a EFR6258 or something equally responsive.
Not race car of course.
I wonder how these little ecoboost pea shooters would do on our BP's.

Put tiny turbo on car. Spend millions on marketing. Sell like hotcakes. Profit. Worry about overheating and poor economy complaints later.
I'm sure they're fantstic cars...if you never spool the turbo.
Love my combined 36mpg Mazda3 and 30mpg CX5.
Glad I didn't hold out for a Ford.
