Different interior design and HVAC, nav, no fog lights, no spoiler. Other than our cheap HVAC controls, I'm glad we have what we do. It's unique for the American market and like nothing else in the rest of the world.

Scion as a brand carries many different connotations than Toyota. This specific model was made to fit with the Scion theme of single-model simplicity and good pricing. This is my second Scion after my 2005 tC RS1 I owned for 8 years. The tC was another car designed and built solely for the US domestic market, and I have no problem with that. I stopped with the "JDM TYTE!" obsession many years ago. This is a great car at a great value in an exciting branding.
