Will it be a go or a no? This has been the lingering question about the Mazda6's successor ever since Mazda Japan showcased its Vision Coupe Concept at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show. The Mazda6 (and its predecessor, the 626) have traditionally been midsize, front-wheel-drive sedans with class-leading handling.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. And truth be told, both vehicles are highly capable and have become the best-selling models in their respective categories.

A hybrid Toyota Vios? It’s in the works. That’s according to Toyota Motor Asia Pacific chief executive officer Hao Tien. "From the business perspective, we do have plans for hybrid A/B segment,” Tien told our colleagues at WapCar Malaysia at the sidelines of the Idemitsu Super 1500 Endurance race in Thailand. “I can't tell you the date yet, but it's coming soon,” he added.
