Progress from the operating room. Mr Alter Nator is almost birthed. But of course it ALMOST fits between the engine cradle, exhaust, and axle. #Toyota #MR2 #SW20

Used to have an older cheap Android touchscreen in my MR2...now I have an even older cassette deck. Works somehow better, and has hidden Bluetooth :3 #SW20 #Toyota #MR2

Just read another rumour about the possible forth-gen #Toyota #MR2. This time the rumour is that they're looking to position out at the top of their #GR product line, in competition with cars like the #Corvette and #Lotus #Emira.

I'm pretty sure that would be a huge mistake. The whole point of the MR2 was that it was... well it wasn't really affordable per se, but it wasn't completely out of reach for your average punter. It was positioned below the Supra, which is currently around $90K. Not to mention that the name is famously short for "Midship Runabout, 2-seater" and the car was designed as a small economic city car, while the performance characteristics were a fun side-effect.

$200K for a runabout? I think not.

Of course, if it actually comes out, and is priced between the #GR86 and Supra, I am absolutely 100% getting one at launch. I love my #SW20, and have longed for something similar but newer for a very long time.

Eleven years of thoroughly rewarding ownership. I never thought I'd keep her this long, but the longer I own her, the more I appreciate everything about her.
