Was going to get the new Fit until I found out they are being made in Mexico. Was considering a Fiesta ST but same story and I could not own a Ford. I think its easier to dismiss cars for reasons like this as you get older and have owned a ton of cars.
It's the attitude of "I could take it or leave it."

I hear you, having owned a 1999 VR6 Jetta that was produced in Mexico and officially lemon law'd I understand. Funny how the new Fit has been pushed back for release due to some QA issues in Mexico. Imagine that

And, like I said, I do think the Scion badge has probably hurt sales of the FR-S in North America. Toyota was trying to use the platform to turn the Scion brand around. I personally think it was a mistake, and that Scion should just be killed off as a brand.
But I myself would have no issue buying an FR-S with a Scion badge on it because I know what the car is.
