Or we could all just enjoy cars regardless of where they're made?

>>17495726
We can only hope that it won't be the SF-R or some 130 hp shitbox.

If it is a 200 hp, ~2700 lbs. 2 seater, then I will be so fucking happy.

We can only hope though.

they will make it fwd like it was supposed to be

>>17495726
All they need to do is make a mid-engined GT86 that's not pig ugly. Please don't fuck it up, Toyota.

>Japanese manufacturers
>ever making a decent, cheap, fun sports car ever again
>not bringing out neat concept cars out over and over that will never come to market, and instead releasing 4000lb hybrids
How many times are you going to get fooled OP?

>>17495744

Has this ever actually happened before?

Then GM rereleases the Fiero and makes it actually competitive, so we can have a better repeat of the 80s

>>17495798
Can we not do this? He clearly said "then actually make it competitive". We all know the Fiero was less than fantastic.

>only the miata is allowed to be under 2700 lbs
>only mazda has the secrets to make a lightweight car
I'm pretty sure toyota can pull it off with new tech and more r&d and more money than mazda even the mr2 spyder was lighter than the miata

>>17495798
It wasn't because GM was cycles beyond belief. Literally building the engine from blueprints yields a 15HP increase, because the build quality was so trash on the Iron Dukes. Tuned turbo fieros can break 300HP pretty well, it's just the nose aero needs to be turned as well.

But maybe the cycle can be broken, and a true MR American sports car can arrive

>>17495823
>only mazda has the secrets to building a light weight car

No but they are the only ones trying Toyota doesnt give a fuck about making anything fun and affordable like >>17495822 mentioned all they care about is cashing in on people with muh MPGs and muh safety standards

>>17495824
*cucked beyond belief. GM did dirty shit to the Camaro, GN and Fiero because they didn't want them stepping on the toes of the golden goose Corvette. They probably still don't, but the bar has been set much higher than before for the new gen's performance, so there's more wiggle room for stuff like the ZL1 1LE.

I hope a new MR2 would be good too

The next corvette is mid engine

sure

>>17495853
Then it's not a Corvette, it's a Fiero and nobody can tell me otherwise.

A Corvette has to be FR V8 (except for the rotary one, but we're not allowed to talk about that)

>>17495861
kill yourself you disgusting boomer

>>17495860
They reach 300HP

Just not for very long. And the people who do it basically rebuild the car because GM manufacturing quality was so garbage. It's as if Michael J Fox did lines of coke before making the welds

>>17495872
Dude I don't even like Corvettes, but you should stick with the theme of the car if your giving it the same name.

The old MR2 Spyder was lighter than the Miata of the same year...

i dont wanna see a modern MR2, the reason they stopped making them was because of regulations the originals couldnt keep up with

whatever comes out today will be shit in comparison. youll be lucky if its <2600 lbs

If it stays true to the AW11, i'll bite.

>>17495726
I know a few high ups in Toyota AU. Apparently it won't be mid engine, it will be a shorter FR 86-style thing.

>>17497017
What car is this tho

>>17497417
>MR-2
>won't be mid engine
Right, it's not like the M in MR-2 stands for anything.

>>17497446
Factory Five 818C
It's a kitcar that uses WRX running gear.

>>17497017
Niche production really doesn't count, you'll never see as many 818Cs as even the original Fieros from the 80s on the road today. Some part of the Big 3 has to start making them to establish market share, and then the market will follow

>>17495726

when are they gonna win Le Mans tho?

checkmate weebs
