That is just for Scion's existence. If the FT/R-86/S comes out as a Scion, I will be buying the Subaru version, a company that earned its performance reputation through engineering and reality... As well as giving up on new Toyotas.

It's comments like these that show just the amount of self-importance some people have. Roll over and die? Really? Just because you have this notion that the Scion company seemed to "talk down" to you, you would go so far as to wish the people who buy those products to die? Metaphorically speaking or not, the problem is not the company. It's the ego. I swear, I'm so tired of this whining and all the "I'm a one-of-a-kind purist/enthusiast and I hate Scion" crying. It's like no one these days has any patience or courtesy. And forget the arguments of "it helps to pass the time". Passing the time shouldn't be at the expense of insults to those who drive Scions. All I'm asking for is a shred of decency. If you Scion-haters think that's too much to ask, then I don't know if you should belong to any community, online or not.
And it's not just anti-Scion sentiment I'm seeing on these boards. It's stupid Camry this, slow-ass Corolla that. People just need to stop. Yeah, you're awesome. You drive a fast, expensive, and/or unique car. You're great. I hope that one day I can be as cool as you. But until then, I'd like to enjoy my time reading about an interesting car without having to cringe whenever insults are hurled without thought. Brag all you want about yourselves, just for God's sake don't put others down. Please.
