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.
Well said, it's like everyone is embarrassed they are driving a Scion. I don't mind appearance upgrades but it amazes me how many people are swapping emblems to Toyota or debadging it all together. Embrace it for what it is, an awesome $25,000 sports car. I don't understand why so many people are so concerned what emblem they are representing when they are driving around.
