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.

I don't hate scion. I think they serve.... scratched that,
served their purpose in fact. I do however hate the execs in the US behind scion. They took what was something totally cool and sensible and basically backpedaled on everything they said they would do and flushed the brand down the toilet. I've argued with dimman about this before, and I told him that accounting makes bigger decisions than marketing. At the time, I disagreed with him, and while I do think the car in it's basic concept wont change being a scion (after all, they don't produce their own cars anyway), the decision BEHIND the move
is what bothers me, and dimman is right in that sense. Marketing would have taken presedence to engineering, and while that maybe ok as long as I can get the car that I want now, what does that say for the future of Toyota's sports cars? (Discount the fact that either way I think making it a scion is a stupid marketing decision).
