If they can hit Cappuccino dynamics they would have a home run. I mean really, that car has a massive cult following.
Pretty sure they do. This car has been rumored since the 86 rumors started, just took them a little longer. Oh and the Yaris/xD/xA/xB did not work at all. The xB sold a ton because of the space, the Yaris and the rest barely sold any since Toyota did near zero advertising. Most dealers don't stock any of those 3 cars because they don't make any money selling them.

Is the platform for the Yaris really that much lighter than the platform for the current generation MX-5? If so, colour me surprised.
On a funny side-note, Toyota actually did advertise the Yaris this year... in the movie "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2".
