Most important quote of the whole article:

"It’s very important to make clear here that this is merely a rumor, and one about a car surrounded by more rumors than John Travolta’s sexuality. How many turbocharged, supercharged, convertible and sedan variants of the Toyobaru have the “inside sources” promised us by now? Take this with a gallon of salt"

Yeah that one mad me chuckle.

But in regards to the debate goign on over there, when the refresh does come i would much rather see the "may the best car win" rather then a sports car three way where no one knows who the father is. :bonk::drool:

Oh don't forget the whole "BMW is going to be involved" rumors. Beyond a three way and starting to sound like an episode of Maury.

They are going to re-badge the LFA as the FR-S. Done deal.

Is it possible for a magazine to have less-than-zero credibility?

The new Yaris is going to be built on the Mazda 2 platform in Mexico, so the two companies already have a working relationship.

Car and Driver is learning the ways of the clickbait from Motoring.au

Shame, I liked their opinions on cars, like a less flamboyant Top Gear.

Is there any other car at the moment that inspires as much rumour and hogwash journalism?

The 86/BRZ is a an NA RWD 2 door sportscar. Deal with it media.

Until there's a statement and press conference unveiling the 4 door AWD, twin charged, hybrid, bio diesel, auto driving, convertible with 8hp more model, then don't believe anything.

Oh are they finally releasing that one? Does it come in orange?

Good news. Mazda is a terrific car company.

Honda with the NSX and persistent S___/Type R rumors
Mazda with on again off again wankel rumors
Nissan with a rework of the Z to be more like the 240z/sx

Mustang was king for '13-'14 rumors as far as I'm concerned
'15 seems to be all about the new Civic from what I've seen
