I agree, because I hate Scion. But the thought popped in my head that the one in 1,000,000 chance they succeed with releasing it decently as a Scion may happen. And if it did, screw it then I'd go for the Scion.
I asked the comparison to see how many people would be biased on the brand name alone.

Why? It's like you were asking to pick between a POS under a Toyota badge and an epic sports car under the Scion brand. It's completely unrealistic.
Scion is my last resort for this car, barring ridiculous pricing difference between it and a Subaru version. And, just because, if it comes out as a Scion I will be buying used so I don't have to deal with douchey sales reps, or adding a sales figure to their numbers. I'll find some Scion poseur who's unhappy with the car's lack of power (low-end torque) and that his 'first on the block' shine has worn off. I will lose respect for Toyota as I feel it is like they are putting a gun to my head (or more correctly dangling a really shiny rwd sports car of a carrot) to bend to their version of marketing/branding.
I may also think about dropping that money between mods to my daily Legacy and the Supra, if the only 'choice' I get is a Scion.
