As for not liking Scion because it's a "girl's brand" or rice-rocket niche or whatever, I say man up. Are you buying the car to please other people or yourself? I don't care if people think it's as girly as a Miata so long as it's 2600-ish lbs, 200hp and w/ a six-speed tranny. I'm wanting the car for the driving experience, not because I'll look cool in it. If you care about image, buy a used M3 or something.
Nothing about looking kool when you drive a Toyota, and if brand image doesn't convince you, you can slap Scion badge on it when it comes out as Toyota (maybe L badge because you don't care). Personal preference. With everything said and done, I still choose Toyota or Subaru.
