If there is no Toyota will you go with Scion or Subaru - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I voted Scion but I probably would have picked Scion anyway. When the enthusiast model is the base model with Scion and you'd have to pay extra to get that with Toyota/Subaru if they even offered it, it's an easy answer for me. I probably will internet order mine and only go to the stealership to test drive and then possibly pick up my car. I'll wait until I have the money to start test driving it anyway.

That Scion hate is just haters. Scion = Toyota. So what if they have terrible marketing, only sheep actually trust that stuff.

And what a point of getting Lexus ES over Toyota Camry?

Status, interior, and plenty are willing to shell out the extra for those.

Scion, cause RWD is more fun than AWD. I also don't care that it's a Scion. Most people I know would probably say "why would you get a Scion?", but the car was originally going to be a Toyota so to me it's just a badge.

Scikotic all the way

Hard to tell, I will have to see what subi brings to the table.

DantKR · 04-25-2011, 11:47 AM

So far the only option is Scion. I'm not willing to pay an extra 4-5k for Subaru when I can get the same from Scion. But don't get me wrong, I love Subaru's cars.

If it's the same car... we don't have any info on Subie ver, other than RWD. We're just estimating Subie ver gonna cost more, but we don't have any proof to prove that.

poormans_LFA · 04-25-2011, 01:19 PM

right now I'd go for the Scion. the only way I'd change my mind is if Subaru indeed produced an AWD variant, which would command a hefty price premium over the RWD version as it will probably be an exclusive STI model (i'm imagining it would be so, of course).

You're right, I was just saying in general that I'm not willing to pay extra for the same car. The other reason I'm saying Scion is the only option is because it's the only one that actually have a concept. It would be nice if Subaru came out with more than a see through shell and an engine and some other parts that were chromed out like a Harley Davidson.

Not to mention Subaru has lost it's quirky edginess and replaced it with mainstream vanilla. I dig the poormans LFA styling of the Scion. What's even cooler to me is the fact that this car was designed in my back yard. Cali pride baby!

Zaku · 04-25-2011, 02:02 PM

I wonder how many people will jump to Subaru if it's concept is as equally striking as the Scion. I bet all the Scion Haters would rejoice and Subaru will gain the utmost popularity.

Watch they do some random thing like release their version as a Hatch, similar to the current WRX XD

how about this.... get the scion and put toyota badges on it!
