I for one am pleased. I have owned both subarus and countless toyotas over the years. I love the boxer motor / the ej series I ran and they were every bit as reliable as the toyotas I have owned. And I also have purchased 2 scions new / still own one. You guys literally have zero clue as to what pure price is and how it works when purchasing a car. If this thing came out a toyota, you would be paying $5K+ premiums for the first 2 years or the dealer would not even bother with you. That and all the dealer BS about hooking you up below invoice after prices drop makes me laugh my ass off lol dealers can hose you 40 ways from Sunday and 99% of you think you still got a deal of a lifetime. I would actually never buy a new car again from any dealer unless it was pure price after the last 2 purchases.
And seriously? You guys thought this would come out as a Toyota? Did most of you read about the vision of this car? It was practically written on the wall that it would be a scion in the us as toyota itself is no longer an enthusiast company and scion, whether you like it or not has drawn a massive amount of enthusiasts from all walks, many of which are why you stereotype scion. That and the tC2 is pretty much a hideous flop and the iQ just does not make sense to most of us, so either they put a kick ass ride up for sale to re-gain some ground or scion ends up folding. Do any of you know what the name scion actually means? "descendant of" and when a car is set to be the so called re-incarnation of an ae86... well sort of fit to brand it as such. Also, during the unveiling of the xB2 and xD in Miami where scion flew 300 of us owners out to party for a few days / had that rapper guy ludicrous or whatever his name is play a private gig for us, the engineers on site were already hinting about a RWD scion to be one of the next cars they were planning to have in the scion lineup, well that was the direction they wanted to go. So when many of us in the scion community first came across the new RWD / subaru powered project... We pretty much all knew they would never brand it as a toyota.
Anyways, get over the name and enjoy the ride! Cannot wait myself
