Imagine if Mazda made an mx-5 EV or Toyota made an 86 EV.

I'm pro-EV in general (pro-trains notwithstanding), but don't see the point in that. I'd rather they just got the people who designed the MX-5 and GT86 to design EV sports cars on their own terms. An MX-5 EV would just be there to remind you how much more fun the ICE version was to drive.

Well yeah I don't mean literally make the same car but an EV. Of course there are special considerations that need to be made when designing a different type of car. The main reason most EVs aren't very fun is because most of them haven't been designed to be.
