You're almost there, Oneday. Just a few small steps...
The probability of Toyota doing a
pre-production dilution of a product that they may end up marketing towards impressionable, young Scion wannabe drifters is high.
Starting to see where I'm coming from?

Subaru allows the enthusiast buyer to purchase a vehicle with the same fundamentals as the top level racing cars. This buyer can start at the grassroots level such as rally-cross with a completely stock car. As this enthusiast's skill set and budget increase, he can progress through events and gradual mods and eventually (theoretically) end up at the same level as Pastrana.
This is not the case with Scion. Period.
