It'll be my kids problem, not mine :P

I would personally like to see more Diesel performance oriented engines instead of electric vehicles.

I like the design, but I don't see why they would need to package a hybrid powertrain with it. If they put a four cylinder engine and keep the weight down then the gas mileage would be fine.

I would think if they did that then there wouldn't be an FT-86?

Toyota MR2 Revival?

1- I don't believe for a second that the CR-Z generated more interest

2- I agree with you in agreeing with those comments.

3- However, I would not mind a hybrid MR-2 if it was executed right!

4- The market position for the MR-2 would have to be very carefully considered. Can't be so cheap as to compete with the FT, but it also can't be too expensive, because it is an impractical car. I don't want to see it die again. Lexus MR350 perhaps?

You like to list all of your responses..
I don't think it would be the same if they reintroduced this car. Obviously if it was a hybrid that's a huge change, but also with the point of price. IIRC it sat at the bottom of their sports car line at the time of the AW11 and SW20. With the FT now occupying that space where do they go? They could put it at the same price and since its MR, they'd have two chances at the price bracket.

i'd love to see another mr2 come out hopefully influenced by the early 90's version

Electric motors powering the front while gas motor turns the rear wheels sounds pretty good.

man that thing looks pissed... well im glad to hear they are actually MRing the MR2.

nahh i rather buy a SW20

:word:

Or an AW11 at that.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

tons of pics here... and a video showing the car being made

not bad... but unobtainium...

me... since I'm partial to hardtops, I'd take this Porsche 911 GT3 R that has a 4.0-liter flat-six putting out 480 horsepower through a six-speed sequential transmission to the rear wheels.

(if someone was to leave it to me in their will) :)

Haha. Not saying the G's FT-86 looks like a Porsche, but I thought that pic was a photochop of the G Sport version until I read your message..
I just thought someone had gone overboard and started changing the shape of it.

Why not a car that slots in below the FT86, thinking 2 seat lightweight mid engine, 130hpish, with nothing more special about it. 15,000 to 20,000 sounds about right.

Think compact car range.

Would be great if there will bei a new mr2! been a fan since my childhood and 3 years ago my dream came true :)

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

Cause then they'd have to make it a scion

Apples to.........coconuts?


Man, it must be awesome to have those kinds of views to drive through.

Nice MR2 by the way :thumbsup:

as a mr2 owner (SW20 FTW!) i would love to see a new mr come out. but i would hate to see it a hybrid. nothing against hybrids really, they have potential but its not my cup of tea. also i would want them to keep it a toyota. i never really liked the scion community. (no offense to anyone)

also im suprised by how many mr2 owners are on this forum

LOVED the MR2/MR-S to death. It really was the Porsche Boxster for half the cost. Handling was great, performance was great, driver feedback -- great. I'd love to see it reincarnated again, but as others have said it's unlikely due to the lack of practicality in the first one.

Aww.
I still have hopes for the MR2 though! While the platform itself would cost more money, there is the benefit of being able to use an off the shelf FWD drivetrain. Just please, please don't use the oldest engine, we all know those are hopeless.

New Toyota MR2

Anyone have news on the "new" MR2???

I think it's interesting that Toyota feels like there is a market for the 86, MR2, and Supra without stealing sales from each other.


I would imagine the MR2 price would have to be around 30-35k for it to be competitive?

I'd fuck with a new MR2, but I can't see it happening

I'd assume it would be priced in line with the Miata.

Miata starts at 24.9k. I can't imagine a brand new Mid-Engine Toyota starting around that price. I could be wrong though.


I was thinking more with the Fiata Abarth, 370z, and Miata Club/RF.

I don't think it will have direct competitors. Too expensive for Miata . Maybe an Alfa or Elise competitor but much cheaper? Who knows should be interesting.

sounds like click bait...

im pretty sure the 3rd sports car will be the SF-R.

Interesting. The Miata starts at 33k if I recall correctly in Canada.

This picture makes me want to do horrible things to my eyes to unsee.

It is clickbait. You pictured the vehicle (SFR) that was referenced as the third member of the potential "trio" in an actual interview with Toyota execs (Including Tada). Not sure where they pulled this MR thing out of. Some unqualified "quotes" and a render do not constitute fact.

Canadian dollars don't count. They are pretty much the same as Monopoly money.

Another case of a journalist pulling something out of his ass.

No source, no press release, and contradicts the SFR news.

:bs:

I'll eat my hat if the Supra comes out lighter than a 911. And lighter than a Cayman...why bother imagining because there's no chance in hell of that happening.

And the excuse about not giving the GT86 more power is BS. There's a very wide hole to fill between 400+ hp from a Supra and the 205 the GT86 has. That's like saying the Camaro would never get a V8 because Chevy doesn't want it stepping on the toes of the Corvette.

As others have mentioned, most logical answer here is that the whole article is BS.

I wish!

If it come in hot lava color, i would considere
