Toyota RWD 4-door Hatchback?

http://wot.motortrend.com/we-hear-toyota-planning-rear-drive-four-door-hatch-with-20000-price-324745.html

In response to the Scion TC thread where some of us would prefer to have a RWD hatchback.
Wondering if Toyota bringing this RWD 4-door hatchback would be a good idea?

At $20k US it would also be touching the price-point of a Scion FR-S.
Hopefully if they make a hatchback it would look much better than the Toyota Rush in the article.

There seems to be alot of negative comments in the article though.

I think it will be an awesome idea, won't be a volume seller tho, don't think it will be Toyota's intention to create RWD Corolla. But I can see lots of young people owning it (even buying them used), and tons of after market add ons.

It's a subcompact so more like a RWD Echo hatchback with just four seats, but a fun to drive RWD that I can put my kids in will be pretty awesome!
