My answers:
1) No! I wouldn't trade my Charlotte for anything but a MY201X if it came with a turbo or S/C by a miracle.
2) Price is going to be $20k+MSRP.
I say $17k or so from manufacturer and $3k because it's RWD and 6spd. That's my self factious breakdown of price. Oh baby, if it sold for about $17k base model!
3) I'm going with S-FR over S660. Toyota biased and I prefer the egg look+old-school look.

The meme in your avatar is pretty much my reaction to your post.
1. It's hideous.
2. "Front struts, double wishbone rear" = not a fact. That's exactly how they advertised the FR-S. My bet is on the suspension being directly pulled from the FR-S or very similar to it. You guys know what this means? It's NOT a Miata chassis. They've been working on this car for at least 3-4 years now. They JUST partnered with Mazda recently. There's no way this is a Mazda chassis.
3. It's going to be an extremely underpowered Corolla engine. Not exciting at all.
S660 = mid-engine, better dynamics, a whole different car altogether.
BOOM.
