Toyota - affordable sports car for US

[RWebb]

hmmm, yes

and the last ones they've done have all been mid-engined - like mini-Boxsters

maybe the Sube connection portends a flat motor...

copy/paste it, I don't feel like registering.

I never had to log in to read the story.

I have to agree that Toyota's offerings are pretty dull as of late. I'm still yearning to drop that 5 valve 170hp black top into my 85 MR2. That ought to be plenty fast.

I had an MR2 MKII a couple of years before I got my Porsche. It was a really run car and had great looks to boot!

The MKIII's aren't as practical, as there is literally no luggage space. MKI's and MKII's had 2 trunks. Small, but workable for a weekend getaway.

That said, an MKIII would be an ideal commuter car. Then again, the prices on 986's are at or below the prices of MKIII's. And the Boxster is a better car.
