Under certain circumstances I'd really enjoy a hatch, it would just have to be executed properly. If they strayed away from it being RWD I'd be absolutely 100% opposed. Even though a hatch stye body might not add as much weight I still would be on the side it would need a significant power gain vs the current 86. If I'd put money on it I'd say its something we'll never see on the roads. I'm quite under the impression the entire platform will be out of production in a few years anyways.
