I work at a prominent Toyota / Scion dealership so I am familiar with Scion. Some of the above comments are incorrect. Scion sells way more than 2500 units. They make 2500 of the "Release Series" each year. Also, they can sell a vehicle for whatever they want. Toyota has always been a company of change, if they had an initial idea of not wanting to go over a $20,000 MSRP.....that idea is obviously gone now. The idea that Scion is too small to handle the production is crazy too. Scion is not a seperate company. The vehicles are built in the same production facilities as Toyotas in Japan. On the Titles of the vehicles they are even titled as Toyotas. The reason I am upset they are releasing it as a scion is one: I can't buy it for "cost." Secondly I'm affraid that they will cheapen it up if it is a Scion. Third, I think people will perceive it different and not praise it as much as if it was a Toyota. Maybe if everyone complains that it is being labeled as a Scion they will release it as a Toyota. The thing that gets me is all the pictures have Toyota emblems on the FT86.
