I am rather glad it was badged as a Scion in the US. It makes the car a bit more unique. EVERY Scion is actually a Toyota in Japan..even the TC is badged as a Toyota Zelas in Japan and Europe. I just wish Americans can get over what freakin tag is on the back of there jeans so to speak. It's why Toyota created a brand just for the kids in the USA than wont buy a Toyota "brand" because mom drives a "Toyota" camry. Its the only reason Scion exists.

While I will admit that the unavailable options on the Scion as well as the red interior is why I chose Subaru, I won't lie and say that said stigma did not affect my decision. Was it immature, probably, but I never claimed to be otherwise.

Oh, the "of America" is always implied when I speak ill of anything from the East. Japan can do no wrong in my book!
Next time I'll be more specific.

I couldn't care less about the badge. And I couldn't care less about what people who know squat about cars think about me or the car. They will get used to the Scion badge sooner or later. If not, I couldn't care less.

If it was first gen IS, GS, & SC, sure why not? In Japan, they DID have Toyota ver on those cars.

I may sound like a broken record but since I believe this so strongly, I don't mind repeating myself... The 86 is one of the most exciting cars to come out of ANYWHERE in a long time and represents everything I LOVE about sports cars all wrapped up in an AFFORDABLE package! I personally don't care one bit if people want to badge it as a Toyota, Subaru, Scion, Toyobaru, or My Little Pony Manufacturing Company! The car is awesome at what it was built for! Everyone has their own motivations for buying an 86 but I bought one because of the car and not the badge. Scott
