i suspect the only reason why it was branded a scion here in NA is due to toyota's internal political play and nothing more.
This. Toyota may make boring cars, but they sell a LOT of boring cars. They are not going to mess with their formula. Best to put a car that's kind of different in with the other misfits. Hence, Scion.
