Toyota released their 2019 financial forecast this month and (once again) made it clear that cost cutting, increasing revenue through TNGA, and fewer incentives will be their priority next year.

That makes the possibility of an 86 v.2.0 seem even more remote.

OTOH, it sounds like the rumored Corolla Hatchback GRMN-type may be right around the corner. The all-new 2020 Corolla reveal is in two days. Even though the all-new 2019 Corolla Hatch has only been on sale a few months.

Hmm, could it be their emphasis will turn away from 86 to an entry level hot hatch vs. the current 2019 warm hatch?

But, what do I know? Nada, just hopeful about all-new cars of the same series being released so soon. Watch it be another crossover.

I hope they keep the Carmel reveal low key out of respect to the California fire victims.

Edit: Online speculation is that it's the new sedan. Good for profit, not for enthusiasts.
