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 SummaryThis model year marks the end of the line for the BMW-sourced Toyota GR Supra. While it was an entertaining sports coupe to drive, it was held back by odd styling, old tech, and a price tag that scared off some shoppers. As a result, we think you'd be better served by some of its rivals, including some of the BMW coupes this Toyota shares components with. Verdict: With plenty of sports car competition, the GR Supra hasn’t made enough of an impression to justify its continued presence in the market. | |
