I believe this concept is supposed to be a close to production model. From what I could tell, if its received well, the project would advance. The mazda concept was a gorgeous design study, its unfortunate they decided to expand on the wrong attributes, creating a pokemon smile. If they use the organic lines for a new RX model, they will have a very gorgeous car and finally, FINALLY, return to their sporting roots. Ford has destroyed the mazda name, now that ford is out of the picture, maybe mazda will come back to its roots.

I am very interested to see this release, my assumption is that it will shed some further insight into an altezza or supra successor. I hate to say supra successor because it carries such stigma, but a sports oriented car at that price point.

There is a 90% chance it is FWD.

Aside from the wierdo looking subaru mouth i have a feeling this next corolla is going to look pretty close to the recently released 2013 Toyota Auris, except in sedan form (the Auris is a hatch and theres also a wagon version. Would make an ideal Matrix replacement imo.)

Yeah, I immediately thought of it as being an Auris.

If its RWD and a altezza successor im totally down. i would take this over a twin as I was previously eyeballing an evo though it is AWD. I would still take a toyota altezza remake. Sorry I said it twice, but I fucking loved that car!!
