Rumors of the 2026 Toyota MR2 and Celica have been circulating for a while. A spate of recent news seems to suggest they might actually be happening this time:

If (and it's still a big IF) they really happen, with the rumored spec -

Gas engine (no EV or hybrid nonsense)
6 speed manual transmission
AWD (!)
400 hp 2 liter turbo

and IF the pricing is close to rumors ($65k for the MR2, $40-$45k for the Celica) one of these could well be what finally tempts me out of my 2019 BRZ.

Maybe Subaru might be tempted to finally put a turbo in the BRZ to more effectively compete with these?

We can dream!
