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.
