Subaru, like Audi, bet the farm on the development of car-based AWD....although, of course, both companies were influenced by the AWD 1980-82 AMD Eagle and SX-4. Nevertheless, both companies were clearly rewarded by that effort....it turned out to be a great success for them.

If anything, I would expect Subaru rather than Mazda to be bought by Toyota, given how they went so far as to jointly develop an EV together, in addition to past projects like the 86. Sharing a factory together won't be enough.
Right now I would place Mazda in the same boat as Jaguar- former Ford underlings who now have more independence but are having difficulties adapting to new trends and marred by their relatively small budgets and low-volume, with the only way to survive to be moving upmarket, with questionable levels of success. At least Jaguar has Land Rover to save the whole brand from being completely defunct.
