I can officially call it a Toyota!
 
As with most people here we wish our cars were branded Toyota not Scion. Sure I changed my badges but when someone asked what the car was I always said a Scion FR-S since that what it is :/ I was on the phone with my insurance agent last night and when she asked which car I was calling about I said the Scion to which she replied "do you mean the Toyota?". Well after looking at my registration and talking to my insurance agent they both consider this car a TOYOTA FR-S!

So that is it, I am dropping the Scion name :P (Don't take this thread to seriously I just thought it was silly)

Well, to be technically correct it would be a Toyobaru right?

Lol a cop pulled me over one time and just cited me a warning for my front plate. He also labeled my car as a toyota fr-s.

I just recently got pulled over and on the ticket he labeled the make as Toyota and the model as Scion...so apparently there is a car that Toyota makes called the Scion :lol:

This is how the FR-S is listed in the MTO system.

On the registration it reads:

Make: "Toyota" Model: "Scion FR-S"

I didn't realize this was news though.

I was never sure if Scion was treated the same way as Lexus. Lexus is also made by Toyota but are not labeled Toyotas

It's not a true GT86 until you spend the 800 buckos on the steering wheel airbag cover ;)

I may actually be going to japan sometime next year after I get some vacation time. I just now thought that maybe I can pick one up while I'm there and ship it back, it'd probably be a little complicated having it as checked luggage with the airbag that could..well..explode :lol:
