I'm guessing MKii is the concept that they will be building off of, they said they redesigned it due to customer/fan/driver etc. feedback but I guess we'll see

Talk about stereotypes... young asian dude with a fedora on the Carlsbad Scion website!

Dude, I'm no expert on visually identifying ethnicity but I'd say that guy looks more Hispanic than anything. I think you just earned yourself a racially inept card...

Yes (most) all scion dealers are Toyota dealers, but not all Toyota dealers sell scions.

Plus I'm not sure if you can call a scion dealer a "dealer" since you can't haggle.

Mexican huh? Not Chicano or Latino!?

Given this ad is for Carlsbad Scion there is a correlation between the color of his skin and the type of car. Let's see here, the North County consist of a big Samoan community in the north Oceanside area, Latinos in the Tri City area (North Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos) along with a pretty substantial amount of Filipinos in the North Carlsbad/Central Oceanside.

You may think he look "messican" (thats how you say it with an accent) but I wouldn't be suprised if he wasn't.

CA is filled with a bunch of ethinic groups. "We ain't got no only white and blacks in this here town..." my best redneck/Kentucky accent.

I'm going to apologize first hand to the patriots.

I hate the U.S. lol

I predict the Japanese to begin colonizing underwater or space before any other country. Hell they're already working on shooting a huge solar panel satellite into orbit and BEAMING down energy equivalent to a nuclear power plant.

Are you sure? Even with the recent events? Not to downplay the seriousness of the tragedy there, but there is no way in hell I would go there now.

You misunderstand me sir, I said Hispanic. Although it was extremely presumptuous of me to even suggest you as inept, you didn't hesitate to try to be politically correct Californian .

And it's pronounced MexicAn here by the locals, this ain't Alabama !

That reminds me, I'm not "White", I'm European American.

I am with you on this one. I think the founding fathers would agree with you. I would love to move to Japan except for the fact that there is not enough road. lol

Meh. The way I see it the US is the worst country in many ways but try to find a better country. The best part of America is it grows and changes. The worst is probably that we remember our mistakes as a country sometimes as a region and generally as our history and we don't just sweep bad things under the rug and forget them. I do believe it's changing but being a history buff I'm both encouraged and concerned with the progression. At what point do we stop getting better and become worse? Or did that already happen?

There is plenty to hate to be sure.

Wait how did this get ?

LOL not all Japan is in disaster. only North East side of Japan. My family live in Southern part of Japan and that earthquake & tsunami hit, they only had 3~4 mag and only minor tsunami. My bro was taking a nap while this was happening (he live in Okinawa).

True that. My friend is a supervisor in Japanese facility in Japan. He said there was no problem in his area. It's not like disaster ruin everything. Japan has always been the country I want to visit(badly).

Not to mention that in this case Toyota needs an image boost more then Scion.

GT-R was a direct revival of an old legend.

FT-86 is inspired by the old 86.

Similar, but not the same.
