^ I thought every Canadian Toyota dealer had its own Scion corner- if that's not the case then having the 86 in many more dealerships will drive those impulse/conversion sales numbers up, no doubt about it.

The loss of the FR-S price advantage will have some negative impact on 86 volume, hard to know how much. As to looks, seems the majority here see the refresh as a step backward on the Toyota side only. (If there was a poll on this, I missed it.) Does this reflect the view of the larger car-buying public? Hard to know but seems plausible - there is a general disdain for weirdly shaped front grill openings (e.g. see: Lexus).

Subaru did run a few TV spots a few years ago, but nothing lately. Toyota's been no better though.
