i would say to those who intend to seek the real truth than to judge from just hearsay.
Like to anyone who express interest in the MR-S, or the 3rd generation of the MR2. there are tons of info out there.

NO not many of us go out to, spend tons of our free time online just to propagate an ultimate drive car, because most of us have real world lives & rather spend driving a car i think most of us enjoy. 

Yes there are those who persist on perpetuation misconceptions, for they are either ignorant or rather clueless about other car makes.

There are of different segmentation of buyers out there. Of course there is, why the hell did car makers ONLY want to make just one gene of cars for everybody.

Some rather drive their cars as is (no changes, adds, mods) & in hope their cars will generate a handsome profit in the event when it becomes a 'classic' sometime in the future. I don't want to dispute their intentions, they purchased their cars, keep it in pristine condition, hardly drive it because it will drive down the milage. sure, maybe they get lucky someone in the future will plonk godzillion dollars for it.

I will tell people this, the MR2 (any generation) is NOT a collectors car, i doubt so. It's meant to be driven not parked to await it's destiny.

Yes there is a mr2/mr-s community amongst us, some of us are cult'ish about it but never pompous. We acknowledge there are better cars, more expensive cars out there, though some of us may not move on or unless someone gifts us a super, supercar (yeah right). The MR community is pretty happy as it is.

Hope this helps TS, and dispel some misconceptions.

Though TS may have sights on something else, which is not wrong. Choices are his and depends on one's purchasing power there are alternatives. Happy hunting.
