before it was decided which brand the FT-86 would be sold under in the states we outweighed all positives and negatives and we hired 3rd party marketing companies and it took awhile. the outcome back in early 2009 is that such a car is better suited in u.s. market as a scion. trust us you will appreciate it. with the scion buying process dealers can't price gouge you with huge mark-ups because it will be a low volume car. dealers will only get one or two a month, first full year "build status" for the u.s. because it will be shared in other markets is in the very low 20k. do the math, there's just under 1000 scion dealers and 1200 toyota dealers. this could change but we highly doubt it. so to the talks about the car being "overpriced", "it should be a toyota", "it will look boxy". all i can say is, wait, because it really is just around the corner. you will see pricing and specs very soon and no it won't be squared off for scion.



also, all i can say is that potential owners and especially ethusiast will be extremely happy with the final product.
Well, guess what: We AREN'T happy about it being a Scion and we are the potential owners of this car and will take our money elsewhere if that crappy god-forsaken brand Scion gets this car. And I will put my money where my mouth is. We don't want it to be a Scion. Yes, the badge matters to me, and I know you aren't from Toyota because nobody at Toyota would be typing unprofessionally in all lower-case letter, nor would they be saying, "you guys are funny" and completely mocking the buyers for this car.

Quit spreading your stupid rumors.
