FT-86 to be marketed as SCION - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It is nice to have factory options at least for some time, to keep the warranty. Other than the wheels and tires, I plan on keeping everything either TRD or SCION (if it comes to that)

EDIT: NIce link on SCION RACING

If I understand the "scion way of doing business" correctly you may not have to pay any dealer added market adjustment mark up, but you are forced to pay MSRP which in and of itself is already a huge mark up.

Most people with basic negotiation skills end up paying a lot closer to invoice and save a lot off of MSRP. And even then depending on hold back money/incentives/etc. the dealership can still make money selling vehicles at or near invoice.

If the car is a scion you will end up paying more for the car than you would if you could negotiate the price at a toyota dealer.

Exactly. Nissan dealers make 7% profit at invoice price, so Toyota dealers probably make the same if not more. Just look at how cheap Toyota vehicle's interior nowadays.

Kaz is a huge Nissan fan, especially the GT-R.

Hence why every freekin' GT game has a shit ton of Nissans.

Hence why not even the Supra RZ is a premium car.

Hence why kaz needs to get his mouth off Nissans Penis.

I'm done..../rant over

I doubt edmunds would have the FT86 listed as a toyota if it was going to be a Scion. Why bother putting it there if it was still up in the air.
