MR2 is exactly the configuration I was thinking about. Taking a fwd engine and transaxle and mounting it in the rear doesn't really make it a mid engine, but the MR2 proves that it's plenty close enough. In many ways it is superior to a true mid engine, mainly because of maintenance access.
Looks like they let Toyota out think 'em in this case.
Come to think of it though, isn't that how the Fiero was configured?
