Dammit.

Current Corolla is 2900 lbs with 4-doors, a hatch, and decent sound deadening/interior quality.
Edit: Japanese Yaris with 2wd is <2,600 lbs based on what I can find. Even claims down to ~2100lbs but I bet that's like a 2cylinder twist beam shitbox that iracer thinks is what will be sold here.
TNGA supports AWD already with cars on the road, the only oddities Toyota will have to adapt the platform for (if this is real which I highly doubt it) would be the longitudinal engine/transmission, coupe body lines, and Subaru's mfg process.
That third one will be the hardest unless they've been working on it for the last 5 years already.
