If the quality issues get worked out, Toyota is posed to claim the GT86 in the US and shut down Scion. If the quality issues persist, scion will lose their customer base and this will just end up another discontinued sports car.
I've heard that Tada is not such a golden child after what the FR-S did to Scion's ranking in JDPowers and is off the Supra project , JDPowers is a big deal for the USA market, Scion went from very high on the list in to dead last worst in the industry. Rumor is the 2014 was delayed from the typical July release because of this.

That's the first time I have ever heard of this particular tinfoil hat conspiracy. And for the record, Scion has always been below Toyota in JD power quality surveys.
