Can we have a MR2 with enough cargo capacity for a week's worth of groceries?

If it's a BMW inline powerplant with over 300hp then it's almost certainly going to be turbocharged. The N54 series motors BMW produces are very reminiscent of the 2JZ of the past.


My fathers 335i has a first gen N54 series motor with a twin turbo configuration. Later they simplified the setup with a single turbo while upping the power. I wouldn't be surprised if a version of the N series makes its way under the hood. Maybe the revised N55 or uniquely developed variant for the launch of the two cars.

I have already done the married thing (twice) and kids (5). Plus I have owned a 1989 Supra and a 1993 Supra in the past and the answer is still "No!"

I probably will not see 10 people at random today but I can ask random (non-car) people around my office. Sounds like an interesting experiment. So what is the question?

"Do you know what a Supra is?"

or

"Do you know what a Toyota Supra is?"

Edit: Just asked a 56 year old female:
"Do you know what a Supra is?"
"Yeah... a Toyota Supra?"
"Yes"
"Why"
"Just asking"

Only if it's 1000kg or less. You could always dump your fat girlfriend and use the passenger area.

Hey my SW22 could probably fit a week's worth of groceries for a single bachelor (definitely not for my whole family).

Honestly as much as I want the supra

A used Lexus RC-F is seen around 40-50K lately and that just looks like a better deal to me.

Edit: Went to look it up for curiosity
