The producer added the FR-S graphics. He never says "Scion" when referring to the development.

All of the original concept cars from the snap were TOYOTA. Even in the video you posted he says "Then at the time, TOYOTA announced its collaboration with Subaru. It was an amazing coincidence and it felt like destiny."

Read this Brochure: There is no mention of Scion in that anywhere.
