  • Uncovering the Toyota MR2: Could the Iconic Sports Car Make a Comeback?
    Despite not being the first “middie” to be released, the Toyota MR2 stole the whole show. This badass car from Japan was simply incredible. Although it was quite small, it was a favorite among drivers. It was fast and reliable and the engine roared when turned on. Soon enough, it was competing with some of the best exotic cars in the world. Alongside Supra and Celica, it helped Toyota establish a good reputation for performance.
    A few decades later, Toyota took everyone by stopping the production of the vehicle. Now, all we’re left with are the memories of the good old days.
    In this video, you’ll find out details about this amazing Japanese car.
    In today's video we look at Uncovering the Toyota MR2: Could the Iconic Sports Car Make a Comeback?...Keep watching to see a videoa about toyota mr2, the midship legend, 3gste engine, sw20 chassis and if toyota will bring back the toyota MR2

    The price on em definitely going up. 7 years ago I tried to sell mine for 4 grand and NOBODY wanted it. But recently I saw them on Car Gurus for 20k on average. Still
    Have my SW20 tho. Not looking to sell it any time soon

    Toyota disavowed the sw20 convertible because it had more flex than a rubber band and made worse the already difficult handling of the midship design. And although it compares cosmetically more with the Ferrari 355, Toyota had released the sw20 first. So the 355 looks like an MR2!😂

      Very interesting. Thanks for the commenting.

    If the new mr2 doesn't have a manual transmission as an option, they shouldn't bother bringing it back. If it does, and it's around 20k, I will be buying this.

      not as bad of a death trap as a fiero. My friend had a fiero in highschool and got rear ended and he was lucky he was ok.
