That MR2 was for the Japanese car guy who didn't want to drive what everyone else was driving, but couldn't afford the RX-7. I had a buddy back in the day who was into this MR2 while the rest of us drove Civics and Integras. And he thought Hondas were grocery-getters at heart, not real race cars like the RX-7, Supra, 300ZX. And he had a point, sort of. But since he couldn't afford any of those, the MR2 was the obvious choice. Nobody could ever accuse a mid-engine, rear-drive car of being a grocery getter. The MR2 was like a bridge between the economy community and the race car community.

Well said.. it really is an interesting car and something very different that Toyota tried doing

I like it in the fact that it reminds me of 90s cars. But would have preferred they broke it up a little bit.

Did you guys say the Pontiac Fierro? Not sure if I missed it if you said it. How the hell does McRib know so much about the MR2? Still blows my mind to this day!

The Fiero was dead before this gen MR2 came out in the U.S. The MR2 was sold worldwide, the Fiero was almost entirely sold in North America only

MR2 had no direct competition. The Lotus Esprit was a much higher price point as was the NSX. The S2000 only came out when the mk2 MR2 stopped production. The actual competitor was the MX5 but only so far as it was an affordable sports car.

Thanks. Yeah the MR2 is an interesting car that Toyota seemed to build just because

S2000 came out WAAAAY later. This wasn't competing with anything in its price class.

agreed, the s2000 would be more of a current car that could be picked up for around the same price. back when this came out there really wasn't anything else in the market

Had two of these. Red ukdm and a black jdm. Both first gen mk2, the jdm variant was a complete animal for a na car with so many jdm options such motorized fog lights that turned in the same direction when driving round corners. Slender up selling for a mk2 jdm crx which I also still regret selling. I’d love another of each

It's an interesting car for sure

Iv had a few of them over the years. Ino mater what iv had i keep getting drawn back to to an mr2. I have a jdm turbo that landed on my lap a few years ago. This one i is for keeps this time. If the turbo motor ever pops i will 2gr v6 it. They dont need or even like too much power. Far nicer with the stock v6

The car was very nice

Not all interiors were blue. My jdm 1990 is black from factory

True... I'm not sure why they didn't split the color instead of when they went blue they did everything in blue, lol

It was supposed to be an affordable exotic. If you couldn't afford a Lotus Esprit, Ferrari 348, any other mid engine exotic. You bought an MR2 Turbo.
