Don't forget there was talk of Scion moving up market or becoming Toyota's sportline.

If it becomes anything at all my money is on the FT-1 becoming the Scion S-FR.

Lol This part kills me especially the armchair racers:

"Lastly, there have been rumors that CEO Akio Toyoda wants a three-sports car lineup in his company, with a Supra-like car slotting above the Scion FR-S and a smaller car slotting below it. S-FR could be the name for this vehicle, but US sales for a car with smaller numbers than the FR-S is unlikely, as the 200hp coupe receives constant excoriation by armchair racers."

Moving up market doesn't make sense to me - One word: Lexus.

Sportline... I hope not. I'm pretty brand agnostic, but let's face it, Toyota has a legacy. Celica, MR2, Supra, AE86, 2000GT, Soarer, etc.

Scion's legacy? Exactly.

Toyota has made exactly one positive decision in the past 15 years regarding enthusiast cars: building the FR-S.

Have fun holding out hope, Toyota has no legacy either as far as I'm concerned. All the cars you listed stopped being interesting 25+ years ago imo with the exception of the MR-S Spyder.

Three words: Toyota's recent history.
