as much as I like denying the fact that it might be badged as a scion here in the states, it might be true strictly due to business.
Scion in the states was meant for young buyers...to evoke toyota quality using another channel and hope that when these Y and X gen buyers grows older, they will be loyal to toyota or lexus brand.
Another thing I see is because Scion is a no haggle, no negotiating policy when buying cars...so to offset the cost of production (although it is shared with subaru) and maximize revenue, toyota will badge it as scion to reep in the greens.
Although on the front end they say its meant for "car enthusiasts" they don't really care if it is indeed that group of people buying the FT86 or not...nor do they care if they are female or male...as long as the money comes in. i do admit that the idea, platform and engine layout is more for the gearheads and its just another channel for toyota to reep benefits with TRD and work with other modding companies. but if normal ppl buy the car to buy groceries with it then so be it, toyota doesn't care...reap in the money and maximize channels for revenue for the vehicle
sorry...kinda went on a rant...no flaming please. just my thoughts.
