Prediction: It's going to cost 30k+ as a Toyota.

A pretty good and honest prediction.

Yeah, not trying to be negative, but they will add interior goodies and make it cost more.

Even though cars are coming with HID's stock... They're still illegal to have in CA.... Isn't that right @finch1750?

Certain CHP would like to argue so lmao

Sorry guys, it'll be the same car just re-badged Toyota in late 2016 and 2017. A gently face and butt lifted car with new center console/HVAC shown in 2017 for a 2018 release - Full redesign shown in 2021 for 2022.

source: once again mah bootay.

@Tcoat mentioned this many times over the years. Every car has a fully planned out life cycle, spanning many years, that include when face lift / refreshes occur. Obviously they could not have foreseen termination of the Scion brand, but I honestly think Toyota USA will simply go for a Band-Aid fix for now, simply swap badges and be done with it.

Who knows, perhaps the swap in badging might make Toyota USA consider lifting spec, to match the same as those in its other markets, but that will obviously come at an increased price and from all the money related threads I've seen over the years, US byers are incredibly sensitive to the price of cars these days.

Sorry that was a little unrelated to the OP's main query. Searching for some of the past news articles I can see many happening from around May. I imagine its best left close to the last minute otherwise it will effect existing sales when people start holding off buying to get a refreshed / better spec'd update.

They need to hurry up & show it I want to order one.

Thinking about it again also makes me think what Subaru will do. If it's just Toyota that gets the refresh, would Subaru get the same performance tweaks? They're made on the same assembly line.

I'm still hoping they'll do something at the (86th) Geneva Auto Show on March 3rd-13th. Either way, if we don't hear anything in March, then we might be screwed. LOL
