Love it or hate it, it will be the last (and most tweaked) incarnation of a "True Toyota Yaris" before Mazda takes over production of the all-new "Yaris" in 2017.

So will the new Yaris basically be the same car as a Mazda 2?

Any idea if 3dr, 5dr hatch, and sedan trims will be available?

AFAIK, the Mazda 2 was only ever available in the US as a 4dr hatch.

Considering that the 2016 Yaris Sedan in Canada (and Scion iA here in USA) is a 99% straight re-badge of the 2016 SkyActiv Mazda2 Sedan (which isn't going to be sold in the USA), I would be greatly greatly surprised if the "new" 2017 "Yaris Hatchback" for the USA/Canada was anything other than a 99% straight re-badge of the 2016 SkyActiv Mazda2 Hatchback (also isn't going to be sold in the USA) - made in the same plant down in Mexico.
