Forgive me if I'm wrong, but a AWD platform is already set up to turn its back wheels, isn't the new Toyota platform they keep talking about a FWD base?
Unless the plan is to put the seats in backwards and make it rear engine, RWD with rear wheel steer, sort of like a fork lift?????

Toyota DOES have a RWD version of the TNGA.
The Lexus models exclusively use the luxury variant (TNGA -L variant) , while the lone Toyota using RWD TNGA is the jap only Crown (I think it might be a derivative of the L version, but I don't think its the same L version used in the lexus cars). The Crown isn't a small car though, but TNGA should be scalable....I mean that was the whole purpose of TNGA wasn't it? Streamline the shared components and make them scalable to fit the market segments? Its the only thing that really makes sense if Toyota was to use TNGA for a next gen 86.
