Compared to what? And why would anyone want a more powerful girly car? Which is what they are, despite being nice enough to drive.

Quite simply I'm of the opinion that Toyota should have installed the VVTLI (2ZZ) 189 BHP engine. I'm not necessarily comparing it to anything, it is just my opinion ( and of most of the MR2 community member's that I am a personal member of) that the standard engine isn't enough to make the car appeal to a car enthusiast.

I'll stick with my AW11 (Mk1) Mr2's anyway, the Mk3 does nothing for me.

Risky business that would have been if they dropped the more powerful 1.8 lumps in there. Cutting their 'lotus' off to spite their face perhaps?

Nah, not worth it the lotus business isn't worth that much

Can't see the mr2 roadster ever cutting into the lotus sales even if the mr2 had the 190 engine. The mr2 would still be too heavy and too soft.

Dan, have a look on Twobrutal at what they do.
