I don't think the majority of people here in Australia are even aware of the brand Scion. I was aware of the brand but did not know it was some what affiliated with Toyota though.

I'm thinking of getting a Scion badge because there aren't any Scions here in Australia. A minor exception is the Scion xB which they call the "Toyota Rukus" here.

If people ask me, "what car is this?". I could just say, "Oh.. its the new _Scion BRZ_" trololol

I'd probably put the SCION badge on the BACK though since I will probably be removing the OEM bootlid spoiler and replacing it with the SCION/PINK STI/TOYOTA badge(honestly haven't 100% decided what badge to go with yet, but Scion badge would definitely be amusing) and then getting it repainted(if the badge holes don't match up) - just less hassle with the badge on the back I think.
