I dunno why ppl are so aghast, it'd be more surprising if it wasn't a Scion. The brand wasn't going away, and the car fits the demographic, hate it as you may.

Premium prices are based on the individual models, not necessarily the overall brand. Insurance don't charge based on "image," they do it based on previous history of accidents with a given nameplate (or close equivalent), its demographic distribution, number of claims and amount per policy, repair costs, etc. They don't go "hmm Scion sounds like a young brand" and arbitrarily slap a high premium on it.
