You could well be right. I just saw that I could still order a new one - presumably then from already built stock.

The choice out there isn't much different from when the MX5 was launched, I traded in a Triumph Stag for a new one when they first came out, from memory the rivals at the time were:
Presumably Morgans - but with a waiting list
Caterhams
Imported Alfa Spyder S4
Reliant SS1 or Tii
A merc R107 at about 4 times the price
Lotus Elan ( fwd model)

Most 2 seaters on the road at the time were old crumbly MGB / Midget or Spitfires, a leakproof reliable MX5 was a revelation.
