Toyota thought that Scion would appeal to young people, but it hasn't worked out that way demographically. Scion doesn't really have a clear identity as a result. It's up to us to build that reputation.

As far as Subaru goes, aside from a relatively small group of people who love the WRX and know its capabilities, most people know Subaru as a family-oriented practical vehicle that's good for snowy places. Seriously, Subaru is a quality car with good engineering, but cache'? not really.

If you think about it, Scion probably sells more sports cars than any other non-luxury brand.
