It's odd that the legally registered corporation names aren't standard across Canada, actually. I wouldn't think would be something set at the provincial level, but I don't really know jack shit about this.

Oddly, even on my sales invoice it is listed as a Toyota FR-S. Strange.

Yep, and it (the world) is falling apart, lol.

In Louisiana, my xB is Toyota xB.. I expect the FR-S to be a Toyota as well. At least according to this state.

I think some people ended up with "Subaru FR-S" on their paperwork.

Minnesota = Toyota CP FR-S

But my car is marked/badged Subaru/Scion

Fruit-to-nuts branding strategy?

I AM relieved I didn't buy a Toyopet or a Fair Lady or a Sylvia - some progress noted.

How about Infiniti and Acura?

Infiniti is listed as Infiniti. I have to guess the same with others. It's quite odd to hear that Scion isn't officially independent.

As far as I know, there isn't such a thing as a stand alone Scion dealer. They are all tied to Toyota dealerships.

There is likely financial benefit to doing it this way. Taxes, CAFE numbers, etc.

In NJ the title only list the first 3 characters so my make is TOY (Toyota) and model is SCI (Scion FR-S). Strange.

Snoopyalien24 · 07-15-2012, 09:43 AM

So we can re-badge and not feel bad?

"Dude that's a Scion"

"No brooo! Look at my insurance paper"

"Whoooaaa I'm sooo sorryy meeeeng"

"Nah it's cool, this time"

ahh I can see it now

Oh, I thought it was just my area that Toyota and Scion are in 1 dealership. Didn't know that.
