Probe VS MR2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just having a chat with friends about these two having really similar styling. Agreed or disagreed?

I see the similarities but the MR2 is more of a wedge and the Probe is more retangular with a slooping hood. Plus the MR2 has a t top for the win!

I dislike the Anal Probe

TOMIMOTO · 05-04-2012, 07:10 PM

I've always wanted to buy a probe just to purposely rear end someone. I would then proceed to jump out of the car and yell, "I just probed your ass!"

I do see the similarities, but the MR2 is better in every which way, so I wouldn't bother comparing them.

The Probe was an ugly car. Like stepchild ugly. I remember a buddy of mine had one and it even made him look ugly. I prefered the Mazda version much more.

The Deuce has a completely vertical and concave rear window with sleek C pillars that slope down to flank the mid-engine (plus stylish yet fuctional engine vents around the body) like many exotic cars. These styling points are timeless and incomparable to the Probe IMO.

Probe was one of the comparos that gets Mk3 Supra owner's panties in a bunch...

I never thought the Probe looked all that great. But the MR2 does!

zoomzoomers · 05-04-2012, 09:57 PM

IMO, the MR2 still looks good today.

I wasn't trying to bash either car, I just thought the front end looks the same on both of them. Also the side profile are also very similar.
