If they were to resurrect this car, where could they fit it?
The FRS takes the cheap RWD section.
A new Supra would most likely be slotted to take on the 370Z or whatever similar car in that pricerange.

There may be a market still for small FWD sport compacts (like the last several generations)

Or would they take it back to RWD and slot it between the FRS and new Supra? (so competing with the lower end of the muscle cars, and the Genesis coupe?)

Then they could keep the tC as the small inexpensive FWD sport compact.....

hmm.....
FRS = 25-30,000?
Celica = 30-40,000?
Supra = 40-50,000?

If they were to do something like that it only makes sense to keep the Celica and Supra branded as Toyotas. It becomes too expensive to be a 'scion' IMO.
