      Luis Manuel Mejia Diaz yeah i don’t understand why all the japanese car companies that made insane, affordable cars that beat all the euro and US cars stopped. I mean mazda stopped because of the rotatry, subaru didn’t technically but they don’t have the same spark, toyota made some of the best and now they make one and it’s not powerful at all, mitsubishi stopped, hell even Nissan stopped making affordable performance cars and now only make the gtr (i don’t like the 370z)

    I bought my beat and rapped mr2spyder off a kid on the cheap because he wanted a civic si. It already had the 2zz swapped in it which made things surprisingly fun and quick, but the plan was just to have a gas saving road warrior that I could beat on. Then my house and all my cars got flooded. Had to spend two years rebuilding my house. Lost all of my cars but that damn toyota...drained it, blew all the water out the cylinders, and it started right up and everything still worked properly on it...electrics computer everything. Now dubbed little bastard,fludd viktum, and martu, this car is sticking with me from now on

      @_SKDK_ 6 лет назад +82

      Rumor has it they're working on it. Supposedly either the celica or the mr2 or possibly both are coming back. I just hope that the mr2 comes first. The celica wouldn't be able to offer anything substantial that the 86 does already since they're both FR.

    • @ashs3380
      @ashs3380 6 лет назад +24

      SKDK the Celica was originally Rwd which went to fwd later. I honestly think that MR2 should return as a Lexus and gun for other luxury sports cars. The celica can a be a great viable competitor to the Civic SI.

      @@YEABREAD it likely will be considering how much money the company saves by doing so. The Toyobaru would have been much more expensive had they done it alone. It's not a bad thing to colab but they should do a better job of having a say in design. The brz/86 didn't look bad but the "Supra" looks nothing like a supra and looks alot like a BMW as if Toyota had zero say on design.

    My girlfriends sister bought a first gen for $1000 in a small surf town in Canada and I always thought it was badass, but I had never even driven a car at that time so I never paid as much attention to it as I should. It was stick and sounded like buff horses mating. She ended up driving it for a year or so then selling it in perfect running condition for $300. Once I got into cars I realized how cool that car truly was and I will never forgive myself for not giving her $300 bucks and having a legend of a daily driver.
    IT SERIOUSLY KEEPS ME AWAKE SOME NIGHTS. I WRITE THIS AT 2AM FULL OF REGRET

It was red with Enkei PF09 9-spokes in matte dark gunmetallic with red chromed lug nuts, and T-tops of course. Definitely my favorite car I ever owned and the best performing.

      CineRaphael a shorter wheelbase Ferrari. Hahahaha. But still, the MR2 that I saw here in the Philippines is bad ass. It's all read and fucking loud. Just seeing that pop up headlight gave me orgasms
