Toyota bringing back the iconic MR2?

According to a post on Motor1.com Toyota and Subaru are coming together to revive the MR2. The MR2 is an icon from the era of Japanese sports cars such as the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Mazda RX-7 so it is very exciting to hear that Toyota is planning on bringing back this mid-engine, rear drive car to partner along side the GT86 and Supra in their sports car line-up.

The render from Motor1.com is interesting and, personally doesn’t get me that excited as I find it a little reserved. A post from grandtournation.com shows the possibilities of what this car could look like. The sharp lines and the aggressive design show similarities to other modern mid-engined sports cars such as the Lamborghini Huracan, but at the same time is in line with the design language found in the all new Toyota Camry TRD, while wearing a Subaru badge.

We’ll have to see if this revival actually happens, but here’s to hoping. All we can do now is eagerly await Toyota’s and Subaru’s announcement.
