It opens for the public on April 22, with 20 and 21 being press days. I think.

Is Toyota seriously insane? hopefully not. Why don't they just badge it Toyota Celica or whatever sound good.

My boy thinks it's a countdown for the Scion Dimensions event like they did last year where you can drive different vehicles and stuff.

I wounder why everyone hate scion? I mean even if the ft86 comes as scion in the end we all WIN just driving the ft86 everyday, dont we ?

Siriusly.Andrew · 03-19-2011, 03:42 PM

Toyota doesn't win, cause we'll hate them while driving a car we feel should be a Toyota brand.

On top of that, I can't get Scion here. I have to drive 13 hours just to start seeing Scions on the road, and even then they are rare because everyone already bought something else.

So with that said, I hope Dragonitti is right.

Just our pride gets in the way driving Scion. If I write this, I know Dragon gonna come to flame me, but typically Scion as teenager riced out car... & yes, I know that that's not the case, but it just come automatic just like Miata been defined as chick car (even tho that's not the case).

Why re-badge when you already have FT-86's sibling with different mother?

What you said is true tho. Why did they have to talk a lot about bringing passion back to Toyota when they bring it as a Scion here? Toyota USA has no passion?

Toyota USA's car line up is homogenized and boring. But it sells cars so they don't want to "disturb" the waters there I guess?

True, they don't want to risk adding one good machine to the stable because it will bother those boring econo boxes (except Land Cruiser) to hell. I know the car will sell well in Scion's stable, but how many 2 door Scion needs?
