Not as bad as a Genesis Coupe with Lexus badges on it that I saw a couple months ago.

Either the guy lost a bet or he really wanted a Lexus lol.

Personally dont see a difference between this and toyota badges. Our car isnt either no matter how much people want it to be. Who the hell cares who makes it, but then that right there is the reason lexus, infinity, acura, etc even exist - americans are stuck on branding.

Hell, i get it to troll. I would love a car Lexus BRZ with TRD intake and sti gurney flap

I think I have started to feel sorry for those clowns. Instead of "WTF" or ridicule, I'm moving towards sympathy for their small organs of reproduction and or mental issues. They have to know that the majority of gearheads are laughing at them.

My next car will be an LFA rebadged to Scion.

Well it actually is a Toyota car, it's only a Scion in the US due to Toyota US's strange branding strategy. So there sort of is a difference.

People who put the Toyota badge on are just returning it to the form that Tada, it's creator intended.

I mean it even has the Toyota 86 badge on the side of the car.

And so is a lexus in every other county. I know its jumping one more in the chain, but still. I know im the minority who doesnt care who what badge it is, and im ok with that. I just think people should be ok with that too, even if the guy wants to slap a lexus badge on his car (especially since OP started with a very newb thread and was met very nicely, now hes bagging on a guy for his badge that basically means nothing)

Yeah but Lexus doesn't make Toyota's they make Lexus's. Sure they're owned by Toyota but they have a separate product range. In essence it's a completely different car manufacturer.

Scion mostly just releases Toyota's under a different badge and name. Big difference. Literally the only thing that differentiates a Toyota 86 from the Scion FRS is the badge.

Dude designed a car, not a fucking badge. Comedy. Or pathetic, take your pick.

The hood is dope, if it is functional. Other than that I don't get why slapping a Lexus emblem makes sense in a living human's "brain". It also is completely different than putting a Toyota badge. A Toyota badge is permissible because it is a Toyota outside of the U.S. There are no Lexus 86's being badged in another country.

Acutally, Lexus is made by Toyota and released in US with a different badge (i.e. Soarer, Aristo, Chaser, Altezza, etc). Hell, Lexus didn't even give us a US version of the Soarer until the 3rd gen. Also, as far as I know the FRS is the only Scion available outside N.A. (Couldn't find anything on a quick Google for xd, xb, xa, or iq equivalents)

And the other guy already told you what else differentiates a FRS from a GT86 so I will leave that alone. Hell, by that logic a FRS is basically a Subaru since it is so similar to a premium BRZ.

Ever hear of the Toyota Altezza?

On a side note, this thread has changed my mind about my newly attached Toyota emblems. I think I'm gonna swap em out for some John Deere badges.

Haha that reminded me of my old tercel. Buddies of mine debaged their evo X and WRX so I had a Subaru Tercel Evolution. That means I get to add all their hp together to my tercel right?!
