yea .. I've noticed that toyota doesnt have any real "sports cars" on the market right now
but if the new mr2 was anything like the mk2 turbo mr2 I'd be all over it .. I thought I saw something a couple months ago about toyota was supposed to be developing a new mr2 since the mk3 is sorta down for power and goofy looking (wouldnt catch me driving one)
heck if they just made the mk2 again with updated technology it'd be one hell of a car
as for my nissan .. gotta give it to them .. the vq35hr v6 in my 07 350z is one hell of a motor for not having a turbo
320hp (306 by the "new" standards)
dual over head cam (four total)
dual throttle bodies
dual intakes
variable intake AND exhaust cam timing
4 valves per cylinder
(almost) equal length headers from the factory
dlc coatings on pistons and cam lobes
the crank is "caged" into the block on this new design for greater strength
(read somewhere nissan might turbo this engine in a future car)
and theres tons more .. but anyways ..
would be nice to see a new mr2 that has the looks of the mk2 and power of a modern designed engine .. might have to trade in the Z for that
also want to know what happened to toyota's big diesel truck that was supposed to come out .. the sema prototype looked awsome with the yellow interior and HUGE diesel engine
