What a greaseball! He can preach that to the masses, bold words he is stating. I nominate him as a candidate for 2011 Automotive Hype of the Year award.

we put a lot of faith into the toyota/subaru engineers but based on all the comments scion as an organization still has a long way to go as far as winning people here over.

Please!", sigh heavily, basically give up, and then travel down to your friends house in your old neighborhood to see if he's up and about to have a few drinks, nope forgot, work during the week, he's up early so he's asleep, meh screw it, drive around the old hood for memories sake...oh hey, thats where Adam lived, thats where Chris lived, there's an AE86, ther-BRRRAKKKKEEEE!

And the story of how I got my hachi-broku is told.

Kool story.
I couldn't get my eyes off the white Trueno in my college whenever I see it in the parking lot. Those guys at school always wonder why I looked at a piece of junk(a friend of mine asked me so) without blinking the eyes. One day I walked to parking lot with my friend and saw that white trueno again, and the conversation started:
Me: Do you know what it is?
Him: Nope. Just a car from 80s.
Me: Have you ever watched a movie starred by Jay Chou( Taiwanese version of Initial D), he was a tofu delivery boy. (my friend is Taiwanese).
Him: Yes. Is that the car he drives in the movie?
Me: Yes... do you know what the car is?
Him: Nooooooope.( too ridiculous)
I was like
I walked to my car and he approached his car ( CF riced M3).

I don't think a lot of people out there know what AE86 is. It might also be the first time Scion VP ever heard about the car.

Dear Scion,

That sounded like it was potentially desperate. Relax, I'm buying the car (but from Subaru). Just don't ever make videos like that again.


Thank you,
