Here is why Scion may be a good idea:
1. It will likely be cheaper out the door!
2. Scion is more focused on tuning and aftermarket parts. Last time I checked, this is good for a performance car. This may be equal given that Toyota has TRD...
3. The styling can be more extreme, like the concept, if the FT-86 is branded as a Scion without having to worry if it fits in with the rest of the Toyota brand. Scion can make any image they want since they are a newer company. (Side Note: I don’t know about you guys, but I think the FT-86 II Concept is the best looking, reasonable priced, show car I’ve seen in ages. It looks like a $100,000+ exotic to my eyes.)
4. Scion needs defibrillators set on maximum power right now. This car would put the Scion brand on the map while still drawing people to the Toyota brand as well.
Think about it before hatin' to much...

And Toyota, please make this car useable for a 6’6” person. Long seat tracks (like VW), long telescoping steering wheel with tilt (like VW), and seats that can be lowered to floor level.

You know this is Japanese car right? I don't remember them to be that tall (my including  )... but you never know.
