That's good. My mom's about to replace her previous-gen Mazda 2 and I'm glad I can tell her that, technically, its successor will be an option. Even if I'm almost positive she's going to just get a crossover anyway.
Also unfortunate that there's no manual like the sedan.
So a Mazda CX-3?
The new platform will allow for different vehicle wheelbase lengths, heights and track widths, which Toyota says will give designers and engineers freedom to create new models of different sizes and body types.
That means we can expect a range of hatches and even compact SUVs from Toyota in the future.
However it’s not clear whether this platform will form the basis of the brand’s mooted compact sports car, first seen in the Toyota S-FR concept.
