Forums are a small subset of the buying populace though. You see a lot of 50-year olds driving Scion TCs, who would never be on Sciolife or whatever forums they frequent.

So i might be derailing here but, after some thought...who cares if it's badged a Scion in the U.S? I mean i would like Toyota badge on this yes, BUT if they bring a high quality interior no matter what the badge then i have no complaints. People wont notice the Scion badge until after they drool, jizz. in. their pants. and try to figure out which dealer they should go to for this sexy car.
This. Plus, the negative stigma of the Scion badge stems from its lineup and the type of people that lineup appeals to. This would expand the appeal of the brand. Worse comes to worse, you just spend a couple bucks swapping badges.
