Not the same class of car at all. SC is a high end GT, what they need is a small, light, sexy, quick, roadster.

I dont understand all the scion hate. If Scion is to ever come out of its Eco-box ricer POS persona, They are going to need a car that will push them through that barrier. Something that will possibly be a legend. The FT could maybe be that car. I would hate to hear you guys bitch if scion were to announce the next Supra would be under a scion badge.

I still would prefer Toyota.
I would shoot somebody at Toyota. Scion had a good thing going, but the people behind it just sat on their hands and dwadled. Scion was supposed to change up every 3-4 years, the tC has been on a year cycle and it's their best selling model. WTF?

Scion has potential. I think it can be saved. Just needs the right car. The FT-86 nor the Supra isn't it though.

Something on the FT-86 platform though?

Fuck marketing douchebags.

And fuck Scion.
It's not a rebodied nascar, It just has a nascar engine... which I think is cool as fuck. Irrelevant, but cool as fuck.

Scion doesn't go after the enthusiast, it goes after the "hip" crowd, and while I am no fan, the have garnered quite an enthusiast base and they have done some fucking amazing things with the AZ engine platform.

Fuck the product planners and marketers behind Scion.
