This still doesn't make sense to me no matter how much i read on.

While the rest of the world gets a Toyota FR-S, the US will have it branded Scion because why? Marketing Ploys? Large Gap/differences in the price range? Should there be a large difference in retail between an internationally sold FT86 vs a North american FT86? Is the US getting something more or less than the rest of the world is getting?

If Scion follows its sales moto of not providing a car over 20k, does this mean that Scion FR-S offers less of a car now? Whats this BS about the North american models receiving a 2.5l boxter vs the proposed 2.0l? Scion FR-S gets a bump in displacement and will cost less than the Toyota badge version? MAKES NO SENSE!

This badging is nonsense especially if the argument is MONEY, and MARKETING. I dunno there is something seriously fishy about this whole ordeal. I wonder if the ft86 production car they talk about is a variant and NOT the actual FT86 concept we have been following since its debut.

With a Rumored Sedan and smaller brother FT also in the mix, if these were come into fruition were would they fit in the equation of Scion vs Toyota?
