I'm going to be the contrarian that disagrees and thinks that it will, instead, revive another name from Toyota's past: Celica.

If the Genesis coupe costs $22k, I can imagine this car starting about the same price, if not a little more.

Both will be RWD and ~200hp. Even the Mustang starts at this price...

I like the looks of this car. It's not over stylized and it's a HATCHBACK!!! WOOT WOOT. I have always been a fan of hatchbacks and think Toyota will do well with this car. How they plan to market it will be interesting.

I say ditch the Corolla name plate and keep it under the Toyota lineup. Maybe Toyota will bring some abandoned RSX/Integra owners into the fold.
