...You would either have to be blind, slightly blind, the average consumer, or just don't know cars to think this even slightly resembles any Ferrari.
So, with that being said...Its a Ferrari..
Also. Toyota, and every mainstream Manufaktur needs to listen to there fan and consumer base. Bring the Supra Back! That's what the fans want.
Supra
MRS
2000
Starlet
Origin
Altezza
Soarer
Carina
Celica
Cressida
Chaser
Bring back all those, And im a happy man.

@Piorun
I do completely agree with you. They should bring back the MR2. Mid-engined, good looking, reliable, easy to maintain, and affordable. I don't like most other Toyotas, although the Supra models were fine. I am not sure that they can make a business model for it though since the last MR2 model (the Roadster/Spyder) didn't sell well. I like it a lot though.

@BR2+ LOL...I agree..LOL...Unless of course if a girl mistakenly thought it was a Ferrari or some other mid-engine exotic. There is a red turbo model I sometimes park next to at Napa Valley College when I am going to wine class, and if you squint and look at it in certain light it kinda does look Ferrari-ish. Sorta. Of course my black Spyder is similar in that respect, no one seems to know what it is, and they frequently think it is something expensive. Probably one of the new Boxters or something. ...LOL... :)

2.2 had the Yamaha motor when turned far more potential than the factory 2.0 turbo.

You guys are retarded. Its a nibble car, but I wouldn\'t call it fast in its stock form. Some minor tweaking to the turbo version (wider tires and modest increase in boost) will have the car flying around the track.

The US also had the non turbo car available. Also, the US spec car only had 200bhp, and the 240hp was the later gen3 + versions in Japan.
I would love to see a JDM gen3+ 'ring time though...

The Turbo version is much better. The watered down non-turbo was only sold in Europe. Japan and America got the Turbo. 240bhp, 0-60mph around 5.5s and revised suspension on Gen 3+

"Mayte" i may aswell drive a shitty MX-6 as i'd still beat that crappy MR2 but i drive an Audi S3. i'd piss over it
Mark Williams 18y ago

Bill Taylor 18y ago
Yes they are fast but i just thought they would be quicker round the nurburgring due to the so called "amazing handling"
although i suppose most of the cars above it are well above average 2.0's
