I'm all over a new MR2, and would prefer the ICE version as you describe. I couldn't give them my money fast enough, assuming it isn't some hideous physical design. (I'm not a fan of the MR2 designs that have been floating around)

Ultimately can you really make a mid-engine (mid-motor?) EV? I think the best you could do is get what is referred to as a mid-battery EV which better distributes some of the weight. Pretty much any EV is going to be either front or rear or front/rear motor though since the motor is best over the axle, or at the wheel hubs.
