I agree, and I'm not knocking the Scion folks for purchasing the car and saying that my junk is bigger because I'm buying the Subaru... Toyota FAILED getting my money by putting the Scion badge on it. I'd probably be buying or had seriously considered the Toyota IF it had the Toyota badge. The knocks are meant to go to Toyota for a horrible marketing choice trying to save their original bad choice in creating a new name plate and not the Scion buyers themselves! You'd think these big companies would learn from the whole 1980's COKE fiasco..
