How about having a mix of both, performance and looks!

The MR2 doesn’t have to and shouldn’t stay in the MX-5 category. It should climb up to the 350Z territory and use that extra money to upgrade the performance. Sure the mid-engine platform can decrease it’s performance a bit over the 350Z because of the extra cost involved in the mid engine platform, but like you said about Alfa's, It could appeal to buyers for it’s looks and mid engine proportions and even out the demand.
