You don't really find performance stuff for the other models. Only the tC.

which is exactly my point. for those of you who are old enough to be around before scion, the brand was thought of to be a tuner car brand for the young. what ended up happening is a bunch of rebadged boxy or quirky toyotas with a bunch of appearance options. who bought these cars? old people. i shit you not. the tC was a great addition to the scion lineup but again, it didnt go far enough.
so what im saying is that the FR-S is the last straw. if this built from the ground up sports car cannot make scion into an "enthusiast brand" then nothing will. does scion need to be an enthusiast brand? imo, yes! sales are going down. the only thing it has going for it is low price and toyota reliability. that can only go so far with the rise of hyundai. they MUST use the FR-S as a catalyst to replace ALL of their models with FRESHLY styled models with modest performance and "fun to drive" character.
