through certain reputable sources (Edstacy on mr2faq.com and certain employees at Toyota Canada) I have been informed that the MR2 SPyder will start being sold in Canada. Now just like you I hate rumors and false information so I will be meeting with the president of Toyota Canada next week as part of a networks project and will ask him the question to get a final word. This i svery exciting for those who are interested in a midengine roadster and also comes available with sequestial manual transmission....I will keep you all posted.

I don't really like them, I'm pretty sure i saw one at superstore parking lot about a year ago, in yellow i think, i thought it was pretty ugly. I like the older ones much much better.

slap the factory body kit on (cause its so nice and clean..or the veilside kit..mean as hell), and the apexi turbo kit and you have quite a boxster S killer!
although its still no porsche..it'd be a fun car

How do people confuse the two cars? The MR2 is squared off in the corners while the Boxster is round everywhere...

Im just Saying that the MK2 (90+) was faster than the MK1's, so it would make sense to make the New ones Faster than the MK2's, Especially since they havnt been offered in N.A. for such a long time:dunno:

Well, sadly enough, at least the JDM version is equally weak, which is odd. So they have nothing for us to be jealous about.

just wait until gas prices go up unbelievably for some reason (political etc...), everyone will go back to the "economy" trend. luckily lately car companys can afford to make more hp cars, because they know people will buy them
i jus hope that trend continues for a long time....

Did you know that 23% of Calgarians surveyed said that they want Alberta to leave Confederation if Kyoto is ratified!!

Don't worry, you can still afford race gas, you have lots of money

Ya for sure, they look nothing alike. Personally I love them but as said not enough juice for these bones.

Oh you suckers. MR2 Spyder was here all along. :poosie:

I went to Toyota to check it out earlier. WAY nicer than the MX-5, felt better in every way. Sit bloody low and it's tricky to get in and out of the car. It still seems.. so much fun.
