if you want to see what will happen look at the MR2s history. Gen II is nothing like Gen I except the nameplate and mid-engine. Don't even get me started on the Gen III (MRS).
As much as I love the 86, it is very unlikely I would buy a second one. I'm not very brand or model loyal, and I only buy new cars about once every decade or so (with some used ones thrown in between). Basically for me to purchase a second, it would have to be a very compelling reason, and it would have to be 8 years from now. Just don't see those two things converging.

Gen 2 MR2 was still a great fucking car though and still captured the essence and fun of the original mr2, the mrs though(first time I saw one I just went WHYYYYYY oh god WHYYYY)
