Then you throw in the misc. (really modded tC's), such as the AEM/Papadakis Formula Drift tC, and the RSR FD tC (no championships yet, but podium finishes in their first seasons).
The first Pro Drag FWD car to run a 6sec 1/4 mile adores a Scion Badge (although it's not really a Scion, but what Pro Drag car is ever really the manufacture it sports).
Scion has a growing list of accomplishments which to me, has re-ignited the "racing/Performance" aspect of Toyota again. No Toyota's were or ARE doing any serious PR/Media exposure in the racing game...OTHER than Scion.
Being a Scion is a Good thing for me. I love being the "under dog", I purposely leave the Scion badges on the car because when the other guy is staring at the tail lights, he knows Exactly what he just lost to. This includes
- Z06 (actually did this on a road course today, guy was a noob, but it still counts)
-350z (my own 350z and other 350z's)
-S2k
-Evo
-STI
List goes on.

just one correction. Formula D's tC doesn't really count. It's like saying JGTC's Celica. Only thing that can call that a celica is just outside shell. rest is pure Supra & IS series parts.
Scion has came long away...
