Toyota's itsy-bitsy spyder offers a fun alternative to the perennial two-seat favorite, the Mazda Miata. Thankfully Toyota forged its own unique approach to the genre. The MR2 not only looks different-bolder-its distinctive mid-engine styling and driving dynamics give it a completely different flavor. One thing the two tin-boxes have in common: Once the flakes fall, it'd be best to leave them in the garage. For now, just button up that parka and crank up the heat if you're still thinking of driving alfresco. If anything was designed with summer in mind, it's the two-seat roadster, and for much of America, summer 2001 has come and gone.
