Honestly bad move on Toyotas part.

Agreed. Toyota DOESN'T need Mazda's help to build a spectacular small car. It's what they have done for decades. The only problem is Toyota has become so big that they want to focus in their bigger money maker vehicles like GM and Ford. It's a damn shame. I would never pay a Toyota price for Mazda underpinnings. Absolutely not. And I have nothing against Mazda either. I just think Toyota is being a lazy azz who doesn't want to compete with Hyundai and Kia in those classes. In a Kia or Hyundai they will give you extra features like heated front and rear seats that Toyota will not do. And the dumb buyers fall for that hogwash and buy from Kia and Hyundai, and get a horrid resale and a questionable quality vehicle. Not my cup of tea. I research EVERYTHING I buy and I do an exhaustive search. People in this class of car don't do that. This is a disposable culture we live in. The next generation wants cheap, not long lasting, whereas I will cry once over the price of a car and then be happier than hell that it will last me decades. Most consumers aren't like that anymore. If it breaks, I'll just buy another one. That's their mentality.
