WRONG because I say that about EVERY factory option for EVERY car you can buy.
Aftermarket is 99.99% always better. Stuff like oil filters...Factory Toyota Oil filter is better than all the aftermarket ones you can buy.
It's like this for example...TRD Suspension is not crappy, but it isn't exactly "race" spec either. It depends on the car. The TRD setup for the Fj Cruiser for example is from what I can tell...pretty sweet. Now I don't know what Aftermarket has in terms of Suspension for the Fj, but with the TRD stuff for it, I would have been happy....if I had an Fj.
But for the tC...TRD suspension is ok, but it doesn't run stiff spring rates that you would find on TEIN or any of the alternatives. Can it work sure but it cost the same as more potent gear from the aftermarket. And if I'm going to buy something why would I pay the same price for a softer version of it if my goal was to extract performance.
Again, this is how I see ALL factory options, not just Scion.
