I rebadged front, rear, steering wheel and wheel caps to Toyota. Also added the Toyota and GT86 badges to the trunk. Replaced the floor mats with JDM. Carpet trunk mat says Scion but I could just take it out. That leaves only the small Scion text on the touchscreen. I can live with that. I'm not anti-Scion. My girlfriend is purchasing a '14 tC in a couple weeks largely on my recommendation. (She wants an FR-S but doesn't want RWD in the snow)
My problem with the Scion badges is that the car is simply not a Scion. It was plugged into a declining brand to boost sales figures. I'd have just axed Scion and sold the tC as a Toyota moving forward but the bosses at Toyota still think there is hope for Scion or at least are willing to continue taking a hit to have a "hip youth brand". The xB still sells decent for whatever ungodly reason but they have no plans for a 3rd gen... The xD and iQ are terrible sellers. But it's the "hip youth brand"! (that's not so hip now with Kia and Hyundai all over that)
Meh, my title says Toyota as the make so why not have the badges to go along?
