Return of the MR2???
Last Updated:
Some people are talking about a possible return of the small Toyota 2 seater.
This new version would use the 2010 Prius Hybrid powertrain.
Not sure if it would be based on the same FWD platform or use a more appropriate mid engine RWD setup.
We’ll see…
I’m just so sick of Toyota. I can’t imagine that anything they do would make me want one.
toyota builds cars for #’s, as in wholesale fleet/ daily rental sales. They must meet a price point to get into fleet, therefore, less goes into them. they are nowhere near the car they were 8-10 years ago. Nissan builds a much better car overall…period!
This probably would not have happened if not for the CR-Z.
Hello??? Can’t you see that this is just a Supra concept miniturized with CR-Z rims????
SOmeone needs to see a doctor!

Well if you look a few posts back at the JD powers survey i think you will find that nissan is quite a bit below the industry standard. Beaten by most american brands, even volvo. Now thats pretty shameful. Plus nissans dont seem to be loaded with extras. Nissan like to get into the rental/fleet market as well. Look at the base model versa. At well is it hideous to look at, it has no air conditioning, no nothing.
So maybe the real overall facts are that nissan do not build a better car overall…period!
Toyota needs for a change to focus on handling. They built all these fancy “sports” cars and they drive like boats. Don’t they read reviews? Or they do not care?
Kinda tired of the same old Honda-Toyota game of ‘tit for tat’. Toyota will probably make it identical to the CRZ, just to be sure no one gets confused about the fact that those two companies are in love with hating each other. Personally, I like my tits without tats. Build a car for me….Not your rival company!

That makes you a Nissan sheep.
I think this is a very attractive car. One of Toyota’s better designs in a long time (even with that head-banger roof line). Keep it simple…give it an efficient engine/transmission, a sporty feel, a small price tag and I’m in. I’ll just have to duck getting in and out of it.
Yes I am a Nissan Sheep, not because of marketing or brainwashing as in the toyota sheep case. Nissan followers are staunch supporters of performance automobiles of high quality and style. Things toyota has never had.

Refer JD Powers survey a few posts back. I think your high quality comment is incorrect.
MAKE IT A TARGA AND UNDER 18K PLEASE
the altima has been rated best 4 cyl, and best v6 midsize car in consumer reports 2 years in a row, that is, the “real” consumer reports…. nissan delivers. also all Nissans are recommended, toyota trucks and camry have beeen removed from recommended list because of poor reliability.
type this into google….nissan #1 in consumer reports, than read that consumer report article. and the toyota sheep see the light….Nissan is #1, there can only be one baby. this rock solid product is it!
Nissan nearly went bankrupt 10 years ago and had to 50% bought out by renault. Thats how bad nissan was. And is not much better now.
Nissan is even beaten by Hyundai in the top ten world automakers.
Haha.
