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.

What did Scion do to you to make you so angry? Really, that's a lot of hostility about something so trivial as a branding decision--which doesn't need to have any impact on your life. You might want to try some "woosahs" or herbal tea to get that under control.
Most car brands do not start out by being a performance brand. At some point they need to put a wheel on the track and earn their heritage. Need I remind you that Subaru's parent company is Fuji Heavy Industries (ToMoCo is the majority share holder in FHI--so FHI's engineering efforts _are_ Toyota's and, by proxy, Scion's--ouch, that's gotta hurt)? By your standards FHI should still be building airplanes and should never have taken that first pass on a rally circuit back in the early-80s, and Toyota shouldn't have been allowed to build the 2000GT or enter it in races. Makes me glad you don't run the world.
