I stopped caring about cars being made in Japan after my 2004 Mazda 3 (and all non-turbo 2.3L Mazda's of that generation were) was total garbage.

FRS = 86 = BRZ and they're all built by Subaru (Fuji Heavy Industries) in Japan. There is nothing Scion nor American about this car. And the only thing American about other Scions is the intended market, which is why (in my humble opinion) they all suck. |

The late 80's/early 90's stuff made in Japan (primarily Toyota/Honda) was awesome. I still see a ton of those cars running today...can't say that about many Mazda's and Nissans of that era. |

yes, i'm well aware. just like acura = honda.
however, scion is an american brand. there is no scion in japan. just like there is no acura in japan. i know that the frs and brz are built by subaru at their plant in japan. in america you're getting a scion branded toyota built with subaru parts at a subaru plant. quite the frankenstein. i just find it strange that american brands sell japanese cars. |

brand is brand, Toyota has invested into the SCION brand for north america and the FRS fit into the scion image more than it would have fit into the toyota image.

Just like Infiniti and Acura.
Even Lexus wasn't there in Japan until recently. Infiniti G = Nissan Skyline Infiniti M = Nissan Sedric Infiniti Q = Nissan Cima Acura RSX = Honda Integra Acura TSX = Honda Accord Scion FR-S = (almost) Toyota 86 Scion xD = (almost) Toyota ist Scion xB = (almost) Toyota Rumion I don't understand why only Scion is strange to you. |

Scion is not an American brand.
It is a Japanese brand from Toyota. It's not owned or built by an American company. |
