Coffee? Not even.... he probably sits outside in the lobby while the grown ups talk.
Judging from his answers let's put things into perspective.
1. Scion making demands for more horse power is like the tail wagging the dog (Scion is inconsequential to Toyota)
2. Scion is the Japanese version of Saturn -down to the fixed price policy. Except Saturn's products were pure GM crap. (and Subaru is an affordable niche car maker).
3. Scion VP has to give middle of the road answers, everybody knows that if he were any more removed from decision making he'd be one of us.
4. Auto makers can't give away detailed future plans because Hyundai will steal them and consumers will stop buying until the newer model is released. It's just annoying to us 86 owners because we don't want to get stuck with a one off car but we don't want to feel like our cars are going to look like the model T when the next gen is released.
