I've been thinking about this for a while . . . and I think that Scion might take the car. Think for a second, Scion targets the younger audience. Scion offers low price, low weight, high MPG cars. Scion also offers many performance upgrades. Before Scion's existence, a similar program was ran by Toyota which included the last gen Celica and MR2. Due to low sales, they were cut. This is primarily because the market wasn't right for sport coupes, and everyone was in search of higher MPG. Scion began to show appeal and has potential to bring back sport coupes into Toyota's lineup without altering their affordable luxury lineup. And now that the market is ready for affordable sport coupes, it's only right that they go with Scion. That way the Scion name can begin to attribute some respect around auto enthusiasts and lose it's all show, no go nameplate. Besides, can't blame Scion for shaping into the what the market needed at the time.
Although I do agree with all the scion bashing, and they definetly need a new design director.
