These.
The way I see it:
Scion - Cheap/Low-budget
Toyota - Mid-range
Lexus - Luxury/High-budget.
Which
would put the FT86 in Scion because of the price, but the fact that it has always been labeled/branded as a Toyota, I'm not sure.
I'm sure this car will be marketed
almost everywhere, so I can't see it being labeled a Scion just because of that reason. There is no such thing as Scion here in NZ, the xB (I think) is sold here as the Toyota xB, or BB (or something like that), and I don't think there is anything here that is the equivalent of the Genesis, so this car will be the first sporty car in a long while for us here.. The last one would have been the MR-S (MR2).
