If only we got a 99 GTS Tropical Blue hardtop. Thats is IMO is the best stock MR2 I can think of. Sigh...its like really an exotic to us.

I don't think the Tropical Blue was offered for Rev V turbos, my favorite color for the last gen of MKII is the 2 tone color scheme (black top w/ silver bottom)

Per Toyota at Toyotas last MR2 club meet in Long beach in the mid 90s. 93 Solar Yellow turbo slick top. Only one was built and sold to a customer. Toyota at that time was looking for it for the Toyota museum at the Headquarters in Torrance.

I think that was only NA's though.

Everyone forgets Turquoise Pearl cuz people think it's ugly or not the coolest... .... it's the rarest color. Only made in 93. My car is pretty rare I think.... 93, fully loaded, turquoise pearl, LSD, turbo... but it's not the rarest.

^ i got the same car
i get a lot of compliments and looks at my workplace though.

mr2 spider is definetly the rarest of the MKII's though. next up i think it would be a 99' hardtop turbo.

well... now that I think about it.. almost everyone has complimented the car, especially the "pretty" color. But on here, not too many people mention turquoise pearl.

i bet those who don't like our colors haven't even seen it in person. i used to think it was an ugly color too, but it grew on me. you really have to see it in person to appreciate it. it really looks like a totally different color in certain lighting. i've been told my color was blue, green, m3 blue.

eww greasers...

hehehehe

I know exactly what you're talking about DeezNuts. In flourescent light, the car shines blue, and in others, it looks really green. I had the same feelings in the beginning about the color, since I always drove by the owners house, and it was dirty and neglected. I had plans to paint it candy silver with metallic flake, but the color grew on me, and now I love it, and it's my favorite!... especially after I took it in and cleaned it up.

I don't think our color is the rarest though. I hear alot less about the light blue 93's than the Turquoise Pearl that we have. Though there are probably less than 150 turquoise pearl's over here. (just a guess)
