So too would be the logic to offer a larger, lower-revving, torquier, cheaper, FB25.
My issue with Scion is that it has always been about image, never about performance and engineering. So I'm concerned about what idiotic things the marketing types would try to get changed to make it sell better as a Scion.
"We can't sell a 2.0L for more than the tC's 2.5L! People won't pay for that!"
"Why spend money engineering a 2.0L when we can just use an existing motor?"
"RWD? Isn't that DANGEROUS??? What if we get sued when people crash?"
"Who cares if it would be better for racing? That's only for show! Our customers won't know the difference."
See what I'm getting at?
