Guys, I just came across some updates that made me really curious. Looks like Toyota is planning something big for its GR lineup. There’s talk about a new version of the GR86, and even more exciting, a possible comeback of the MR2.

Now I don’t know how true all of this is, but multiple sources are saying that Toyota might update the GR86 with more power, maybe even a hybrid system. I love the current GR86 for what it is, light, sharp, and simple, but I can’t lie, a bit more power would make it even better. Especially if they can pull that off without making it feel too heavy or complicated.

But the real surprise is the MR2. If you are someone who grew up around JDM culture or just love old school Toyota stuff, you know how important that name is. A small mid engine car from Toyota in today’s world? That would be wild. I am not sure if it would be electric or hybrid, but even the idea of seeing an MR2 badge again feels crazy.

That said, I hope Toyota does not just bring it back for the name. The MR2 was always about balance, not just numbers. If they can make it affordable and fun like the original, I am all in.

So what are you guys thinking?

Would you want the GR86 to stay the way it is with some small upgrades, or should it go big with a turbo or hybrid?

And if the MR2 does come back, should it stay lightweight and simple, or should Toyota go all-in with electric performance?

Curious what the community thinks. Let’s talk.
