It's why Toyota created a brand just for the kids in the USA than wont buy a Toyota "brand" because mom drives a "Toyota" camry. Its the only reason Scion exists.

True, and it's Toyota's damn fault for not having anything someone other than a mom would
want to drive. Now they have that stigma, so even if the 86 and eventually the Supra were to come badged as a "Toyota", they probably wouldn't do well here. It's a shame.
While I will admit that the unavailable options on the Scion as well as the red interior is why I chose Subaru, I won't lie and say that said stigma did not affect my decision. Was it immature, probably, but I never claimed to be otherwise.
