yeah it is wired that the jap sports car market is going down hill with all the makers, apart for the Skyline GTR.
I like the new fairlady better with the SynchroRev system, gtr has underrated gearbox. still too heavy at 1400+kg, thats after some weight reduction effort.

the golden times of toyota have gone, hey man they even killed
the beloved Celica and Supra, look at the mf crap cars offered by HK Krown motas
boring and ill equiped, they don't even bother to put 0-100km times.
i think their best cars are the Estima/Alphard at this mo.

MR2, good times, mine was super Red II with TVIS (induction which sounds like a gruppe m) behind your right side,
and revving to 8000, 4th gear 120mph!! 4AGE twin cam 16v engine, the equal to the honda B16 vtec,
which leads me to attack Relianc motas, why bring in ill equiped Hondas, the JDM are much better, why have the
current saloon civic when you can have the UK civic which loooks 1000times better??? why why why.

next jap car which are going down the drain are Subaru, why did they bring out that pig ugly "new" impreza???
i bet their sales figures are crap
Yea, the golden time of Toyota has gone.
Having owned both MR-S and Celica in the past, they given me some much fun to drive.
But then they discontinuted both models which made me sad. :thumbsdown:

Despite i have been driven lots of different cars before, but i got to say the MR-S is one of the best handling/fun car that i ever driven.
RESPECT

I read it in the mag aswell, seems they rate it very high
But i hate the funky look though, can Jap have better design these day?

I alway liked the look of the fairlady but the car is way to heavy.
I wish they do a hard top Convertible like the 3er
