I agree that making it a Scion was a disservice. This is a special car that Toyota needed, even in the states. Scion is like Toyota's special ed child. They are retarded when it comes to options, they don't do numbers, and they try to appeal to the simple-minded party people, wanna be gangsters, and ricers. That's not exactly something to be proud of if you're a true car enthusiast.

I do not think that it should have been called a Celica however. Celicas came in several different variants, all had Toyota inline-4 engines, and since 1985, were either FWD or AWD. This car is something very different.

But with that said, I don't mind the styling of the Scion logo and I actually really like the FR-S name. Never the less, I am just glad they are offering it in the US in an un-molested way.
