[the lemming]

With our final pick in the CP Car Draft (sniff, sniff... I can't believe it is over), Lemelin's Lemmings take a trip across the Pacific to the island of Japan to make their Asian selection... the Toyota MR2 (Mk1).

Another great car from my youth. I've never been in one but they always looked like they would be a ton of fun to drive.

The press received the AW11 with open arms and praised its innovation, great feeling, and responsive engine. American car magazines Road & Track and Car and Driver both chose the AW11 on their lists of ten best cars which included some tough competition, such as the Ferrari Testarossa. The Australian Wheels magazine chose the 1988 AW11 as its favourite sports car. The MR2 was Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year for 1985. In 2004, Sports Car International named the MR2 number eight on the list of Top Sports Cars of the 1980s. The MR2 was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1986 and 1987. This vehicle was often referred to as a "Pocket Rocket". Silver models were often called "The Silver Bullet".
