Toyota Possibly Partnering up with Mazda for new RWD platform

Mazda could be supplying its brand new rear-wheel-drive platform and straight six engines to Toyota as part of a reported partnership, according to a report.

The report claims that the platform will likely not only underpin the next generation Mazda 6 sold in Japan as the Atenza, but also the Toyota Mark X and even the Lexus IS and RC.

 The article however, states that despite the cooperation and sharing, both automakers will produce their respective model on their own terms.
