Is this in regards to Toyota's rumored drop off the Scion brand? If so, I imagine the FR-S will sport a toyota badge for 2017.

The reality of this will be seen today if there is one accurate word in the articles.


The Car Buzzard clickbait site reporter that is quoted as the source must have some strong pull.


"Word on the street is that tomorrow morning, the Scion division of Toyota will cease to exist. At a top-secret meeting this afternoon, employees were told that the division, which started with the xA and xB in 2002 as 2003 models, wouldn’t see it’s 14th anniversary."

I mean if scion got the axe and they didn't convert to Toyota would it be that bad?


Then everyone would have the option choices they all want without having to wait / find / buy some inflated special edition.

I'm still confused why we're talking about Subaru at all. Is the assumption that Toyota "could" shut down Subaru? Cause that's re-t... it's stupid.

Can we not do 1,000 threads?

I guess I'll be back on in the afternoon when everyone's figured out that these posts aren't funny.

I'm confused why you are getting this joke. Eat some cereals and smile.
