I found this link, and thought you might find it interesting. personally I hope they do go with the V-8 they used in the test mule.. that would be an incredible car if they keep the weight balance decent.

the pictures of the back remind me of an Opel Speedster... but the front is all toyota... just a bit wider.

that would be awsome!!! I wonder how much more the V8 would weigh. I think my '01 is 48/52 fr/rr respectively. I did read awhile back they were gonna stop the Spyder production . I don't know if that means totally or just US..If they do the V8--One is MINE!!!! thanks, MR-355

MR2 has been DISCONTINUED. As has the Celica. I see lots of threads similar to the Supra threads begining to start. If they do produce another MR2.... it won't be released in the USDM.

just not here..
