There is already a small (Yaris size) hatch devloped by Toyota and subaru on sale in some Asian countries.

Toyota come on.Focus more on big players.Share each other's technology and come up with something like A camry AWD with Boxer engines or Subaru Legacy Hybrid.

Impreza STI's version of TOYOTA and a Lexus like Subaru.
