I don't think the MR2 is happening, it would definitely have to cost more than the 86. Very few people would buy such a thing, which makes the chassis naturally expensive. Which is a shame, because Toyota has upped its engine game a lot, and I think the Dynamic Force 2.0 with minor tweaking (think ND2 Miata) would be worthy of an MR2.

Since Honda also said baby-NSX or bigger S660 aren't happening, I'm waiting for the next gen Lotus, and hoping it is slightly more reasonable to repair and insure than the old ones. I just need to have enough money to throw away when it comes out...
