That was the whole point of coming out with this car in this day in age. :bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk::bonk:
But.... the car has some very obvious competition. People cross shop it.

I'm curious if this will affect the aftermarket parts industry or not?

Teenage kids?

Women who think the car is "cute?"

If you're at least some-what automotive intelligent, you'll know straight off the bat there's nothing else to consider given the same criteria that the car was essentially born from.

Power was the last priority on the list when this car was created.

This is like asking someone looking for a compact truck like a Ranger/Frontier why they didn't buy a Cummins Ram 2500. Sure, they're both trucks, but completely different level and intentions.

Ha. Ha. As I recall, Scion's Jack hollis pushed insanely hard to take the car from Toyota North America to "save" his brand. I don't think Toyota Japan had much to do with it.

I would be ok with this. Not over joyed as I'd prefer GT86, but ok.

Sorry, wrong person.

I'm a little disappointed. Only because I was hoping the next Supra would be a Scion and then I could drink the tears of everyone who got so pissed off about it. :D

Totally expected though. Surprised it wasn't sooner.

Yes.

Application data for the FR-S/BRZ used to look like this:
4/12-

Now it will look like this:
4/12- /16

Absolutely. It's like choosing any mate, you end up comparing qualities.

This gave me a warm chuckle.

This car is just getting out of warranty and hitting 2nd gen owners - the aftermarket support will remain strong for quite some time. Like the S2k.
