"The Wall Street Journal reports that Toyota management told dealers in Las Vegas there will be a production version of the FT-86 badged as a Scion model." -

Read it carefully, there will be
'a' production
'version' of the FT86
'badged' as a scion model.
This does not necessarily mean that THE one and only FT86 production model will be Scion and thats it. From what I read, there will be a variant available badged under scion in NA. I am pretty confident that at least for the rest of the market, it will be released as a Toyota only model, whereas in NA there will be a possibility of a cheaper Scion model based on the FT86 in RWD format along with the production Toyota FT86.
Thank god we Aussies don't have to worry about any of this. I can almost guarantee it will be badged as a Toyota for us, just like they did with the Rukus.
