Catch the new name under the photo? Not sure of the legitimacy but seems to be a Toyota official site...

Toyota to scrap Scion brand, but FR-S will become a Toyota!

Great catch. Could be a mistake, but definitely lends some legitimacy to changing the name. I wonder if they would change the iM (Matrix) and iA (Yaris) as well.

Considering they think it's called a FT86 in Europe. Take it for what it's worth. We always knew the car would live here anyway.

My favorite part is the "scion steering wheel" when that is 100% a mazda steering wheel with a scion badge which is in the iA lmfao:

Also this is the caption in question:




I'm unsure of it's legitimacy as Jalopnik supposedly had spoken to a Toyota spokesperson almost a month ago:
http://jalopnik.com/the-scion-fr-s-w...d-o-1756954363

Jalopnik said the name would be ,and I quote, "the name of the car will be... wait for it... wait for it... the Toyota FR-S."

Maybe they changed their minds? Who knows, honestly just wait till sometime around August....

Wasn't it the official word from Toyota when they decided to end Scion that it would still be the FR-S? These articles popping up now are just tabloids basically. Kinda fun to watch them

I was half right. iA becomes Yaris iA and iM becomes Corolla iM.
