That's a respectable age for any car model. But what will the Miata be at 50, in 2040?
What will it run on? How much will it weight? Will it have a full autopilot mode?

Roughly the same.

When will people start importing the Eunos just because it's JDM?

It'll weigh about 950Kg, have less than 150 Hp, be rear wheel drive, have a minimum amount of electronics, and run on gas.

The BMW Mini is a reboot of the original Mini. The Miata has yet to be rebooted. I think it'll stand the test of time.

I ask for a realistic prediction, not jalop- fantasy.

Technology seems to advance pretty fast nowadays, and emission rules will force automakers to go clever or go home.

Isn't that happening in 2040 or so?

That's pretty realistic. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

2019, actually.
All cyberpunk is set in 2019, apparently. I think it's tradition because of Blade Runner . Akira , Batman: Beyond , etc.

Will it have a full autopilot mode?
It will only have full autopilot mode. But, in its defense, some computers claim that it's the ultimate driver's car.

Nope, Wikipedia says Batman Beyond takes place in 2039, and only the cut scene from the beginning, that shows Bruce Wayne being Batman for the last time(and using a gun) takes place in 2019.

One must remember, the general perceptions is that the miata is a girls car not a "autocross" car. So it will change to meet that perception. Jalops won't be driving the 50 year old miata.
