Wet interior
If you leave the house in this car with storm clouds brewing, you'll get wet. That said, we will be making a passenger tonneau. It wouldn't be difficult to make a full fabric tonneau as well, just like we had for our Speedster.

Pretty much the same rules apply here as with owning a motorcycle, insofar as cargo carriage and the elements. Motorcycles don't offer a great deal of protection from the rain, nor are they especially well-adapted to transporting large pieces of furniture, towing boats, etc. They are, however, quite a lot of fun.
Thus, some people elect not to own a motorcycle, whereas others gladly pay $15-20k and up for them.
Cordy, if it's not yet too late to make a modification to the bodywork prior to pulling the production molds, might I suggest an affordance at the tail end which would allow for the mounting of a class-1 trailer hitch? Given the popularity of trailer hitches among the general Miata community for the purpose of transporting tires and related equipment to and from racetracks, I would imagine that this would suit a large percentage of the Catfish's target audience.
