not to rain on anyone's parade, but just because there is some kind of concept car doesn't mean we'll ever see it in showrooms. ex. all the MR2 hybrid concepts below.

Hey, MR2 does sound like a virus.. perhaps when looking up important virus related stuff, MR2 appears.. Suddenly it's 6hours since you last looked up from your screen..

Mr Two might be returning as a 2024

Here's one for the rumour mill. Debunk away,Tcoat.

It's nice to dream except it will be a much more expensive car adjusted for inflation and all, and that kinda takes some fun away.

Porsche being involved probably means using some previous generation 718 architecture of some sort, maybe with Toyota drivetrain in exchange for Toyota sharing electrified drivetrain architecture with Porsche similar to the deal with BMW.
