Did you see I mentioned it doesn't have the "reliability" stigma associated with it compared to a Toyota? Sorry, I'll take a Toyota reliable motor over some dudes opinion on the badge on the front of the car. You are saying you would rather have a less reliable motor just so you don't have to see the branding of Scion. Can't agree with that myself. Much rather have a reliable Toyota plant in it.

I think you overlooked what I was saying because I didn't say you were wrong for not liking the image. I was conveying that imo...the "purist" are not about "being purist". They are pretending that, that's what it's about, when it's about the image. Just saying, keep it real...If it's about the image, then be about that. But don't come back with it being about Toyota history, cause it's not even running a Toyota motor.
