Please put the wonderful alpha platform:

Under this body or updated version with better interior:

Put 2.0 EcoTec Turbo or similar under hood:

Slap a Chevy badge on the grille:

Sell for around the same price as Miata. Make profit.

The alpha is way larger than the kappa.

They made it bigger for the CTS, they can make it smaller, too.

Stick a Ats engine in it, 6 speed only. There you go.

(Edited/Corrected) If we're asking begging GM for things to do with the alpha platform that involve 6-speeds, RWD, and 2.0L Ecotec's.....

I fully endorse this.

Not how it works. The platform is the entire chassis not just the suspension.

This is the Kappa:

The Alpha can't get this small, nor is it optimized for a two seat roadster.

Ask Bob Lutz, or whatever his name is, he is in charge of all the strange decisions. Haha.
