The car weighs a scant 2200 lbs and puts out 247whp. Bringing the weight to power ratio at 1:8.9 Very quick and reliable car!

The MR-2 turbo was a nice idea, but it was too heavy and who needs/wants t-tops, leather and all the other crap all but a handful came with? The MR-2 Spyder was also affordable where the previous gen was not. I wish the Spyder was as light but was available with a welded on hardtop, but alas it wasn't. Having it be a convertible allowed it to sell better since the girlies would want it too, so I won't complain about that.

Anyway, stop dissing the MR-2 Spyder/MR-S. It's one of the few true sports cars in our over-regulated age, and I applaud Toyota for making it. I wish there were a SpecMR2 class...
Geez, who the hell are you, the designer of the MR-S or something? Did you marry an MR-S and have kids with it? If you love it so much, why aren't you driving one and posting on the MR-S forums?

Long live the '90s, where the Japanese sportscar was turbocharged and built to handle! Bwahahaha!

06STi: might as well have stuffed that Honda engine into a Lotus. Oh wait, they already did that

Toyota needs to bring back the Supra and make it affordable.
Also make the TC RWD and it would be a lot better of a car.

I wonder what the brand would be called.

Tubaru or Soyota???
