Reviews SummaryIt’s hard to explain just how under-appreciated the second-generation MR2 is, especially in the United States. In the 1995 model year, Toyota only managed to sell 995 of these cars here, when it sold as many as 11,369 a year after the second generation was launched in 1990. It’s no wonder this was the final year of production for US-bound MR2s. It’s as if we had room for one two-seat Japanese sports car and that was it, no matter how many significant advantages the 1995 MR2 has over cars like the Mazda MX-5 Miata. | |
Reviews SummaryThe 2023 Toyota GR86 is a love letter to performance enthusiasts everywhere. As the majority of the industry moves towards less connection to the road, the GR86 remains firmly planted, with just the right amount of technology to keep you informed, but not so much that it detracts from the driving experience. As many automakers (including Toyota) look toward electrification and automation to change the way that people get around, sporty coupes like the GR86 are going to become increasingly rare. In fact, the ever-risk-averse Toyota shared responsibility for this car with Subaru, which sells the same car as the BRZ. Verdict The 2023 Toyota GR86 delivers delightful performance in a stylish and inexpensive package. For shoppers looking for a fun car (and who don't need to cart around many passengers), it's a great option in an ever-shrinking sports-car market. | |
