The one guy starts to get way more excited then even I thought a Scion warranted. He starts telling his buddies how it is the new Porsche "Spyder" and that is what "Scion" means in German.
I was amazed to learn that my car had 600 horse, cost over $150K and was one of only 100 brought to North America! This guys was rattling off stats and facts with such confidence that even I was beginning to believe him. Apparently his day was made by getting to see such a rare supercar in person.His buddies just smiled and nodded while reading Toyota and Subaru written in about 20 places under the hood.
I never had the heart to correct him and I bet he still tells people he saw the ultra rare Porsche Spyder (Scion) in his own town.

This is where I got mine:
