Also, if anyone is considering a car as an "investment", you need to change how you think of a car. Cars depreciate, and some (read mostly domestics) a lot more than others. Scions hold their value very well, partly because of the lower production numbers.
I'm not saying that there are not cars out there that are worth more now than they were new, but it's more of an exception, than the rule. Supply/demand plays a huge role in this.
The future variants the US will see initially are going to be release Series Scions. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can see Toyota releasing the GT-86 version in the US in the future if sales go well of the Scion/Subaru versions. If they do, I'm sure many people will do what they had planned with Scion which is to get a consumer to buy a Scion model, to later buy a Toyota model at a higher price. I think if the US gets a higher HP variant of the FR-S/GT-86, it will be under the Toyota badge. Subaru's will be under the STi name. This is all speculation and my semi-edumacated guessing.
