The dang brz messes up the whole idea haha. If it was only a toyota product i think the scion would be a novelty down the road. Alls i know is in 20 years if i see an frs with 50,000 km untouched in mint shape ill probably want to drive it really bad. I just think scion ending and the car getting a facelift may make the used frs worth more than a used brz in 5-10 years. I dont think they will ever get to the level of 6 figure restorations but i could see the scion, as i said, being sort of a novelty in years to come.

The Scion badge will mean nothing. Nobody will pay more for that badge. People will probably still rebadge to Toyota in twenty years. A badge does not make a car collectable the meaning and prestige behind the badge does. If you saw one in twenty years and it was badged Toyota would you turn down the chance to drive it?
Surparas and Split windows may seem like a low price new now but you can't take their cost then and say "look how cheap they were". That $2k Vette sold when a bottle of Cke was five cents, a house cost $15k and people earned $3 an hour. They were expensive as hell.
