Is the Scion brand dead?
 

I'm not really one to believe everything off the internet.

I know there are a ton of rumour/bullshit sites everywhere but Motortrend and Autoguide are sites that I do trust.

There's supposed to be some formal announcement from Toyota this morning.

:popcorn:

Holy Shit! :eyebulge: has anyone seen this yet? This is pretty ground breaking news :cry:

Well I guess they will be selling the face-lift AWD Hybird Turbo model as a Toyota finally :lol:

Then all the flat brimmed bros on Facebook can actually call their cars an 86!

Cross-post from another forum I'm on (I just wrote this):

I've always hated explaining the Scion brand to people when asked about my FR-S: "ok so basically in the early 2000s, Toyota wanted a more youth-oriented brand blah blah blah Subaru makes the car blah blah blah".

Funny, it was this last Sunday that I was at a friend's house, helping her with some car shopping. We zeroed in on the iM because it's "a practical 4-door hatch that isn't a Mazda". Maybe she can get a deal on one as they go through the exit process.

Man, I thought all the flat brimmed bro's drove Subie's bruhhh

Unfortunately flat brimmed bros are everywhere. They're like cancer and find their way into every platform.

I will preface that I actually have a soft spot for older gen WRX's

It's official.

There's the press release directly from Toyota.

FR-S looks like it will live on, with Toyota badges. No word on whether they'll keep it as FR-S or bring the name in line with the rest of the world (GT or GT86).

yes.

I want it named as Toyota 86

As much as I'd prefer they renamed it the GT86 like the rest of the world, we'll probably get it as the Toyota FRS...
