MR2QIK
That's a good lineup. If you pick you insurance etc well, it's not going to be all too expensive @ all. I test drove the 86, it's nice, BUT NOT AN MR2 TURBO REPLACEMENT.
 

Just an N/A MR2 replacement? :P
 

Latest Wheels mag says the Porsche Caymen was the benchmark car, Toyota having bought a bunch of them during the development phase, and that the 86 is very, very good; in some ways better than the Cayman (especially regarding the rip-off prices we pay in Oz for Porsches, which was the topic of a letter to the editor in the same issue).

Oooh yeh that looks like it's gonna be fast as.
Btw came across this the other day

It's a Beams MR2 and features the 86 at the start :) 86 is quite fast

Dont know if it was my fone but that beams sounded like it was running on 3 cyl!

Old mate takasu working his ring-hole off in the mr2 doing his best to keep up with a new car almost definitely fitted with traction control....

Haha yeh I think he kept stock intake so it sounds quite docile.
That Takasu driver seems quiet good, aggressive but under control but I think he has ABS to help braking (seems evident in the other video of dry track)

Under steer also seems to be an issue in the wet. Id say that the 86 and the beams mr2 would be fairly similar on track in the dry. 

any one else grabbing one of these?

well more like "who has paid the deposit" as I understand that the Aus allocation are all pre-sold

nah thats crap, toyota called me yesterday to offer me a silver one ..
im going next week to play in their first one. (at my local dealer)
