Not going to happen ever. The smallest RWD sedans are this new C Class, the 3 Series and the new IS. Anything below, 1 Series Sedan/2 Series GranCoupé, A3 Sedan and CLA is or in the case of BMW will be FWD. The only possible small RWD sedan to come might be the Alfa Romeo Giulietta successor if:
1. Alfa Romeo decides to make a sedan version plus to the hatch...
2. If Alfa Romeo will really build the Giulietta successor on the new modular RWD platform
3. If Alfa Romeo will finally really bring something new to the market, and not continuously postpone their IPO.

As for the GT86 Sedan (turbo or hybrid), I doubt it will happen.
