Hmm.
.
.that concept looks rubbish, really.
.
.
.
.
!
Way things are going, we'll have to wait until about 2020 until we get a
"proper" Mr2 Mk4.
.
.
.and I reckon it'll be totally electric.
.
.
?
All the stuff Toyota seem to be working on is based on collabs with other mfrs: basically following the pack there.
.
?
Tighter emissions control, higher taxation, safety regs, etc, have basically killed off the
"fun" aspect of cars: couple that with accountant-led projects, leaned-out to the last penny
/ cent, and it means we'll never get our ideal MR2, with a supercharged V6
/ V8, manual, weighing less than an Elise, mid-engine, etc.
.
.
.
!
Alongside this, they're making it increasingly difficult for people to create their own supercars, via engine swaps, etc.
.
.
.
So, we're stuck with buying half-hearted attempts at creating
"universal", one-size-fits-all" cars.
It REALLY gets on my nerves: a few years back, I was looking at actually building an ideal
"fun car".
I met with a few chaps, we discussed premises, finances, design, etc.
.
.
.
.
.but it would have fallen down on regs.
.
.
.
If I win the lottery.
.
.it'll happen, trust me!
The ideal car should be basic: you don't NEED all the gizmos if you know what you're doing.
The driver is in control.
.
.
.
I'm dreaming here, aren't I.
.
.
.
.
!?
At the end of the day, it comes down to
£$£$£$£.
