If, however, Toyota does use the Mazda2 for its Yaris hatchback, I'd be pretty happy. I love those cars, and Mazda makes cars with great driving dynamics.

Just hope that Toyota doesn't plaster the fugly iA snout onto their hatchback version of it, lol.

The huge snout on second generation Mazda 2 hatchback isn't very attractive either. So I don't think it's going to look all that hot next year as a rebranded Toyota. I surely don't have high expectations. I'm not that crazy with current Mazda designs. They are average at best, but the Miata is very attractive. And I surely wouldn't mind driving one IF it was front wheel drive. Rear wheel drive is not very good around here in the snow and I'm not the kind of guy to have more than one vehicle at a time. I already hate insuring the one I have. But that's another topic.
