guess what i own now? a limited BRZ. i would have bought a FT86 even if its a strip down version. i would have been gladly to pay more than a BRZ for a GT-86. but i will never see myself with a Scion anytime soon.

label whore much? If you buy the scion, do you still not get the toyota service department? Does toyota not honor the warranty? Does dealer financing not go through toyota? don't scion dealers share space with toyota?
at least the people who pull the whole "hid and nav" argument have a leg to stand on (not as much however with the retro kit and aftermarket head units coming out). But just because of a badge?
The name scion even makes sense for the company (for non botanist a scion is a young bud or branch that is grafted on to a pre existing root stock to help it grow and protect it, much like scion dealers are paired with toyota).
