I think it definitely matters what it's called. I think that in regards to the above article, if it's a Scion then people will just pass over it, no matter what it offers, thereby not selling enough to keep the car around for those of us that are going to purchase it. It needs to have staying power so that the aftermarket catches it and runs with it. The more the car sells the better for us, the enthusiast crowd, so naming this thing is not a small task. In fact, it's a huge one that could directly affect sales of the car.

These guys need to get their heads out of their asses and if their not in their ass, keep it that way and do right by the market they are trying to reach with this car.
