It has nothing to do with self esteem. The brand is targeted to a demographic i am not a part of so I dont really enjoy representing it. If it really bothered me and I had low self esteem I wouldn't have bought the car.

Lame doesn't equal humor.

So? If you bought an SUV does that turn you into a Soccer mom? It bothered you enough to want to belong in the other category enough that you thought it was fulfilling the insurance company called it a Toyota...lol. Sounds like low self-esteem to me, but whatever floats your boat.

This makes 0 sense. I'll just move on

More like a Subaru....with a Toyota fuel delivery system (that happens to be the only crappy part of the vehicle.)

Oh snap, I live between San Antonio and Boerne... Where did you get pulled over? I still don't have a front plate. SAPD and Boerne PD haven't seemed to look, but Bexar County deputies have definitely stared at the front of my car a few times...


On topic, the dealership I got my car from called mine a Subaru on the paperwork, and we had to redo it... How does a Toyota dealership call their own car a Subaru? haha

Drive a Scion = Associated with that demographic (your assumption)

Drive an SUV = Associated with soccer mom's or the like.

Assumptions on both parts. SUV assumption sounds as dumb to you as the Scion assumption does to me.

My registration also says Make: Toyota, Model: Scion

Yes you could call the FR-S a "G" model as a lot of people don't know there's 4 trim levels in Japan.

More like a Toyota as Subaru doesn't own this platform.
Toyota owns this car and the rights to it and yes my title states it's a Toyota.

this was SAPD that pulled me over over on the west side. no one seems to care about it, but this guy did. honestly I think he just wanted to look at the car and it was a good reason to stop me because he was really interested in it asking me all these questions about it and what not.

Well after looking at my registration and talking to my insurance agent they both consider this car a TOYOTA FR-S!

So that is it, I am dropping the Scion name :P (Don't take this thread to seriously I just thought it was silly)

You have done something Toyota has yet to do
