Celica, MR2 Will Die After ’05- U killed 'em

[Honestmechanics?]

I like the new Solaras, because it reminds me of the Lexus SC430. The convertible looks like the new BMW 6 convertible. Bad for that super expensive car, but good for the Toyota. I have a GS300 and CLK 320, but I tell everybody that the Lexus is better than the Benz, maybe except for the image. Anyway, here's the article. I'll miss the MR Spyder.
Toyota announced Friday that it will discontinue the Celica and MR2 sports coupes after the 2005 model year, disappointing Ray-Ban-wearing readers of Maxim across America. Perhaps, I'm being too glib. Though these fine and respectable affordable sporty coupes have been steadily losing their audiences over the last decade, we should remember that the Celica was Toyota's first real step out of the utilitarian class back in 1970. And the MR2 was, as Car and Driver said in the early 1990s, "an exotic car for the rest of us."
