I mean if they do a GR MR2 with the Yaris/Corolla engine then that would be awesome, and I would seriously consider it if the price was right, but I would be fine with an EV too. It would be the best platform (MR) to launch an affordable Toyota sports car that would be compelling enough to garner interest and demonstrate that Toyota can make an EV sports car that is still a driver's car. I think it could be a home run if they could do something sub 3200lbs that was in the 250hp+ range with a 50kWh battery that did 220mi+. I know they want to do a manual, and if they had a radial flux motor that needed a few gears then cool, but a gearless drivetrain would be fine too, as it would be linear, predictable, direct and engaging.
