One of my MR2 Spyders was green/tan like this one. I loved it but the marketplace didn't. After six months of advertising everywhere I wholesaled it to a dealer. Great car, beat the defending regional Solo II champ in it as a rookie.

Almost died actually. My best man broke into the car and filled the heater vents with confetti. What he and I did not realize was that he screwed up the driver door latch. Leaving the reception I turned and the door flung open. Since those cars didn't have a little thing called seat belts the door was all that was keeping you in the car. I damn near fell out.

Still no brembo's

I like the other edition's rims better as well.

Also seems odd to not use the black traction control buttons.

Very nice! Needs wire spoke wheels to complete look. Oh, and louvers.

I went to a dealership last week to see a Neptune Blue 86 in the flesh (I saw it at the Tokyo Megaweb a year ago but I wanted to see it again).
I liked it, but im not in love with it. It was also very similar to the shade of blue on the new Corolla.

With that said, I asked the sales guy about any information on the 2020 models and he did mention the green colour will find its way over. I suppose this link is proof of that.

Oh and to no ones surprise the rest of the car would carryover unchanged. I think they should at least upgrade the head unit though.....

If you go back to post #83 (page #6) you'll see I predicted this five months ago!

Tcoat, you should have known I'd be right about this. Therefore, you would have a head start making plans for your big switch to Team Green!

That's a nice colour, not sure we (Australia) will get it though.

Not enough for me to swap out my 2017, 1 of 60, solar orange limited edition though.

Kind of salty since i Just picked up my 86 but ideally I would pick this up if it came as a base model but oh well. I could do without seat warmers, the wing, and so on.
