The general public don't know the difference between Scion and FR-S. When someone who isn't into cars asks me what kind of car I have, I just say it's a Scion.

There is no difference between Scion and FRS so you could just say it is a Scion FRS. What they don't understand is there is no difference between Scion and Toyota (other than the badge).

It's done. Toast. Outta here. They'll sell off the remaining stock, then quietly remove it from the Toyota and Subaru websites with no fanfare or announcements.

Still, dealerships don't know much about the 86/BRZ. Last time I took mine in for service the tech was looking over the car, saw my STI wheels, APR skirts and lip, and the spoiler up on Drambeenie's risers, and they were like "oh yeah, we have one like this on the showroom floor if you want to check out a 2018." Of course they were talking about a tS, but to them it was the same thing as a lightly modified '17 AT. |

But when I say Scion, they say "Oh, those are nice cars". I wonder what car they're thinking of.

Say whaa???? There is a big difference between fanboys and true enthusiasts. A true Subaru enthusiast would know that for the first 13 years the company built front wheel drive cars & trucks. It didn’t start producing the boxer engine until the mid-60’s. The first 4WD Leone didn’t show up until ’71-’72. Here’s a brief history: https://www.subaru-global.com/ourstory/heritage.html |

Their core customer are probably not here, but I will not describe them as to not offend anyone. They certainly do not market to the WRX crowd. |

When I walked into 3 local Toyota dealerships to get the service history on my new to me 2017' 86, non of the service department employees had a clue what the 86 was...... including the dealership I bought it from.
