If I'm in my mid-30s to early 40s with 2 solid household incomes ($90-120k combined) I'm looking at a totally different car than a Scion/86. No offense.

You have me confused with someone else. I don't give a crap if it's a Toyota or a Scion. I only gripped about it not having a Toyota motor. I'm not the one crying. I made an observation that the people crying over being a Scion don't put the same effort into crying about not having a Toyota motor. If they were THAT pure then the forums would be filled with dislikes for the motor choice, but it's not. I don't consider you a purist if you aren't pissed about the motor. I'm not a purist. I buy cars based on the cars merits in and of itself. The value for it's features are reasonable, and it's known to be reliable, then I consider it.

I was considering buying a Gen Coupe which is made by a company with not so great reputation from the past. People overlooked the past though when the present produces a decent product.

In the same token you don't think the 86 will bring Scion around, I don't think the 86 will some how magically restore Toyota to a performance brand. One car in their lineup isn't enough to do that...imo. Like it or not, the tC is sporty and performs well, has a substantial aftermarket to create whatever you like out of it. All of Scions line has a substantial tuner market aside from the xD maybe.

Yeah they need to stop dragging it out. I'm getting tired of all of this.
