Note this is coming from a person who hates that this car will be badged Scion in the US.
Well part of the reason people are saying the Scion is too much, is because the price point for the Scion for the equipment you get is a bit higher than that of the Subaru. Meaning that if Scion sold all three trim levels the premium would actually be a bit more on the Scion than the Subaru. So actually Scion owners are paying for a Scion badge, unless they just ordered the FRS for the fact that it is cheapest

I ordered the ltd because I currently have a Subaru, so my trade in will be better, and wanted the nicer interior. I'm fine with paying more for that and am not going to be losing sleep over the fact that a bunch of Scion owners are driving basically the same car for 3k cheaper. That's just how trim levels work.
