yes toyota does do the engineering but if it comes out of toyota the "youth" that will be interested in it if it were a scion wont want it because toyota isnt "cool," right? so the lawyers wont be pressuring toyota becaus ethe buyers will be the enthusiasts and know how to drive this car and therefore the car will have less of a chance of being put into a tree by someone who dosnt know how to drive, hence the car comes as its supposed to and not a watered down version because toyota dosnt want to be sued.

@ oneday only did you really just compare porsche to toyota??? they are two completley different car companies, how many kids just out of school/college do you know that can afford a porsche? coz i dont know ANY in fact the only people i know who own porches are 30+ aleast and actually know how to drive and go and do the porsche driving courses if they dont, thats why porsche can pretty much replicate the track cars, thats also why ferrari can take the tech from F1 and put it into their raod cars, because of the price range only the wealthy can afford these cars and they dont drive like morons on the road because one scratch could equate to the cost of a door of a scion/toyota.

thats why i dont want it to be a scion because with the price target of this car and the demographic of scion the car wont only be re-engineered in the states it will be worldwide, because toyota wont want kids killing themselves in their ft's

look what has happened because of Englands rule on the front of cars the hood is going to have to be raised by 50mm to comply and thus is going to effect every ft sold in the world.
