Dude that was exactly their target demographic! They didn't try to hide that, ever. No poser about it they flat up said "Don't know cars? Want to stand out from the crowd? Come see us."

Apparently it will still be called the 'FRS' http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2016...e-toyota-fr-s/ .
Here's the clipping

Those that rebadged everything and kept the FR-S badge on will blend right in

Interesting then that Scion's are some of most modded cars by dollar amount spent per car then right? There's an interview with an Executive at Scion from around the 2013 launch on youtube where he discusses this a little. Basically saying that Scion owners spend more money in the aftermarket than owners of any other make by quite a margin. Of course they could be talking about decals from Autozone, but I doubt that cheap stuff would add up to enough $$ to make this a strategy to build a brand on.

So I kinda have a strange question. Does anyone think any twin sold under scion will be worth more? I would like to think yes but seeing as how scion is wel..... not anything cool reality is saying no, thoughts?

When I lived in Japan (10 years ago) they were. They badged all of their cars as "Toyota" and just gave us lucky suckers a fancier name so they could charge more.

Read the thread. Asked 100 times and answered 200.


It will not make them worth a penny more. It is just a badge. The car has not gone away the company has.

Plus the resale value of the FR-S seems to be tanking anyway, at least in the year since I got my second one used.

Stopped by my Scion dealer on the way home and as everyone had guessed their remodel was with the death of Scion in mind. They went from a huge Scion dealership to a Toyota dealership with a small Scion showroom on the side. (Like most dealerships)

After talking a bit it seems prices are going to stay the same through the 2017 model but after that there will likely be a significant price bump once Toyota does their thing. It's looking like Toyota FR-S badging for the U.S. as well.

Probably dealer modded dollars he was talking about. There is a crap load of things you can buy for all the Scions (except the FRS but it was never a real "Scion" from day one)

Wow, 22 pages since 6am...is this a record ?



How about badges which can be changed from the driver's seat electronically...or remotely from smart phones, whilst at work or in bed.
