We were taken aback when Toyota pulled the wraps off the GR Yaris M at the Tokyo Auto Salon in January. A mid-engined hot hatch in this economy? Well, not quite. Although the concept was based on the subcompact hatchback, a follow-up production car with the engine behind the seats will take a different shape. All signs point to the MR2 revival, but recent developments suggest it might take longer than planned.
