the MR2 is the only one to be rear engined in a production car i do believe, don't quote me though.

Pontiac's Fiero also had a rear engine, but technically it was classified as a 'mid-engine' car due to it's 50-50 weight distribution. I'm pretty sure the mr2 was also classified 'mid-engine'.

Still have to clean mine, had it a week and still haven't cleaned the darn thing. I'll have pictures soon though.

it was classified as a mid-engine because the engine is actually in front of the rear axle. a true rear engine car would be like a porsche or old beetle where the engine is actually behind the rear axle

other notable mid engine cars would be the Elise, Veyron, S7, Atom, and other various supercars.
