Well said. Unless of course Toyota has overestimated the success of selling this car as a Scion rather than Toyota in Canada/USA. But I'm sure Scion has put Toyota to ease by telling them how successful this car will be under Scion. Unless someone cares about RWD, lightweight, boxer engine...etc. I'm not sure the average Joe or Suzie Secretary will care about those differences and could very well go with the cheaper tC. However I am assuming the FR-S will look >>>>> than the tC so you might earn a few sales that way. But in general I think most people (average person) in this economy will pick the cheaper option out of two equally specd/designed cars. Only us enthusiasts will care about those small differences.
