tl;dr - speculation they could offer it in automatic, and debate between DCT or (shudders) CVT

My feelings aren't hurt ? Offering a car like this in auto only is what doesn't please enthusiasts.

Apparently this image was only teased in an Instagram story by Toyota USA. Doesn't reveal much, but the camo is off.

I have a feeling this thing is going to be a significant step up from the RS. For one thing, it should be lighter than the almost-3500 lb RS by a few hundred pounds - the current Corolla hatch is only 3000 lbs. And it will be able to send more of its power to the rear wheels. Plus it's got a sweet rev-matching manual which the RS never had.

At the least it will certainly be more livable on the street, from all accounts the RS had a very stiff suspension setup. Definitely interested if the Z doesn't pan out for me, joined the forum. I just hope they do something drastic to that ugly front fascia on the standard hatch.
