"Toyota finally figured out how to create a more appealing subcompact. Outsource to Mazda."


Good for Mazda: Utilizing plant capacity, sharing facility upgrade costs with Toyota, gaining another manufacturing partner to offset costs.

Good for Toyota: Scion finally gets a respectable subcompact without significant development costs.

My mind is still reeling at the idea that, were Pontiac still around, we might end up with rebadged Fords sold with arrowheads on their grilles. And thus the world would end.
