Toyota’s MR2 is one of those cars that captured imaginations the moment it debuted — a mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive car that felt sporty, affordable, and daring in just the right doses. Its name, MR2, is shorthand for “Midship Runabout 2-seater,” and it was Toyota’s statement that you didn’t need a V6 or a massive price tag to have fun.
