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

Why are you even on this forum? Everything you ever type up is negative. The OP even said "don't take this seriously". Just calm down and see the humor of this.

One more thing, Toyota made the Scion brand for a specific demographic (young drivers). This shouldn't be news to you...

I had not really thought about it before this thread, but my cousin (CHP) also said it is a Toyota FR-S.

All Good Then!

Actually the Scion is very close the GT-86, almost exact on body style with a more spartan interior.
If you do some interior modding it is an 86, I'd say a lot more Toyota than Subaru

When he ran your registration, it popped up as a Toyota. Most states label them as Toyotas when registering them.

You guys care about image to much. Shut up and drive, geez.

Not sure if serious

Toyota designed it.. Subaru engineered it and builds it at the subi plant.. And the one car that has dropped the power rankings of scion down into the gutters.. Because it's a Subaru POS.. My local flat4 page is full of blown up, messed up cars.. Both new and old, both stock and modified.. At least three post a week about how something is broken, wrong, or messed up

That said I love my FRS, but it's still in the process of being badged a GT86

That's a relatively new development for Lexus. When I was in Japan in 99 and 01 every single Lexus model in the US was sold in Japan as a Toyota. They just figured out they could put gold L badges and charge 50% more and Americans would think they were getting a hell of a deal.

Something tells me they do more than just slap a gold L on (frs vs lfa)

Mind you, I did say in 1999 and 2001. Lexus didn't have any true sports cars at the time. The sportiest car they sold at the time was the Altezza/IS300.
