^^ That looks like a middle aged woman's car now, not a sports car.

^^That almost makes it look like a 1 series bmw. Id rather see a targa or t-tops. But if its a full on convertable I def needs to be a 2 seater.

Whatever brings in more sales, right?

4 seater would definitely sell more.

In the immortal words of the Fonz, "Exactamundo"

Yeah, if someone doesn't like an option, don't buy it.

Let the hairdressers go sideways into the mall parking lot too

Sigh, I guess. I'm glad Honda never did this crap with the S2000.

Doesn't bother me that it was discontinued, the aftermarket won't die for it.

Eh, fuck that "collector's item" shit.

I'd rather see the car (and other worthy competitors) continue to be manufactured indefinitely. Otherwise, you're always stuck buying a 10 -20 yr old car if you want to have some fun.

And the more they sell, the more likely they'll bring out super-wazoo ultra cool editions.

This car sells well, I would not at all be surprised to see a 35K Supra version within a few years.

Who said anything about a "collector's item"?

I hope the car is made available as a T top or Aero top like the MR2 or Supra, the rag top would loose the shape and use up the boot space. I also hope a turbo version is made available as the basic boxer engine is only around 140 BHP.
Anyone know how to contact Toyota development so we can petition for a 240+ BHP Aero top?

I like this idea sans the top you mentioned.
