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. | |
