Modding... lots of thoughts of it.......but having a fun time right now as it sits!
I like toyota. Had toyota celicas in the past. But have no reason to rebadge it. Do members here not like the Scion brand?

Tcoat explained it pretty well but here in the U.S. Scion, among a large amount of car enthusiasts, has a bad aura around them for the TC, xB, xD and iQ.
NOTE THIS IS NOT MY PERSONAL OPINION:
It's not uncommon for their cars to be known as rice wagons and such because it is geared toward younger owners who like to fart can them, most of this spawns from the TC. Its one of those car companies where if your girlfriend said "Oh my god the TC is so nice!" you'd be like
. Also the way they market front wheel drive underpowered re badged and bodied toyota corollas as sport cars as cool tuner vehicles strike a hate cord among people i.e creating a poser car that young people are supposed to fall in love with.
On the flipside I doubt the U.S.D.M. would have gotten the FR-S had scion not existed.
It's fairly common to see them it's just they are hated by a lot of people for some odd reason. Also when I was little Scion had just come out and marketed them as modding cultured cars and such saying aftermarket parts were good which in turn created quite a few ricer vehicles.....
