Manufacture not much, but design and crash tests would cost quite a bit (as there will be multiple conditions). Also then the manufacturer are stuck with the size the screen that they had the design certified for.
Not to mention after a few years the mechanism gets slow as the plastic ages.. heck even on my Z4M the screen is not mechanized, it gets stuck once a while.
I am a bit disappointed after all the hype.. those taillights looks like a cheap version of Type F. ugh. I guess have to place the bets on the Alfa version.

I gotta say dual exhaust would've looked better, although it'll add some weight. Given the design of the rear bumper, at least it's not designed specifically for single exhaust, so aftermarket dual exhaust is a possibility for those who want it I guess.
Reminds me of the time when I thought about switching to single from heavy stock dual exhaust on my s2k. Just couldn't get over the look and decided against it.
Don't really like the front, particularly the headlights. The first gen had flip up headlights, and they were big and gave the Miata a friendly & cute appearance. The headlights have gotten smaller and this iteration makes it look more aggressive and predatory. (i.e. like other cars in the market)
I do like how they've slimmed down the wheel arches and I don't mind the back. Also like how they've dropped the door height for a more open feel.
I really like the back end, reminds me of Z4 or Lexus IS-like and sharp. Front end... not so sure yet. Doesn't really fit the aggressive Kodo theme they were going for with this gen.
