(Please do not read with an angry tone in your head but as some simple questions)
We aren't allowed to have opposing view points?
We should all smile and nod even if we don't like something?
Should all the threads consist of "I did XXX to my car" followed by 200 replies of "good work"?


I agree with Tron on this completely. There is a stigma attached to Scion in some areas (for right or wrong reasons) and some people just like to fool themselves.
As I have said a dozen times before in the "Badge Change" threads. You are not fooling anybody by changing to Toyota badges. The people who know the cars already know what it is and the people who don't just don't care.
Having said all that I personally could care less what badges are on any car and you can badge them as a Porsche or a Ugo if it makes you feel better about yourself.

Well done Squady! You beat me to it (and I was only going to ask if all Challengers and Chargers are getting rebadged as Fiats).


I have to ask though. Is this step 3 in you psychology paper?

[BlackMonarch]

When I started tearing in to the car, and everything said "Subaru" down to the monograms on the VIN sticker, I decided the car definitely wasn't a Scion. Maybe a Toyota, but not a Scion.

Also, the Scion brand name has never meant anything to me, other than tacky cheapo F&F wannabe cars. So now it's a Subaru.

Scion is the young sporty son of toyota jajajaja...

The part about Mitsubishi is interesting here because; much like FHI which has Subaru as the automotive division, both companies produce a huge variety of...well, things. For example, I have a Mitsubishi A\C unit and television, and an FHI forklift at work.

As a Turtle that swims over seas quite often they don't know what a fr-s is

My parents said the same thing, so I bought a BRZ instead

They pronounce it "ski-on", as in you "ski on" the hill...

Why are the Subaru guys not rebadging to this?

And their products didn't have the greatest first introduction to the U.S. of any company in history!

I'm thinking of gong with Toyota emblems, Subaru wheel caps and leave the FRS badge on the trunk. That way I cover all 3. Lol

So you think Scion has a better reputation than Toyota? First time I've ever heard that in my life...

I got the BRZ just so that I wouldn't have to own a Scion. No offense intended to FRS owners, I've just never liked the Scion brand and never felt they had a good reputation.
