You could just leave it alone and drive it. It is but a badge after all.

Scion is the enthusiast brand, Toyota is the family brand, and Lexus is the upscale brand. Makes sense to me. :/

Edit: Forgot my actual input on the question. xD The only thing I don't like about the Soarer badge is that it doesn't really fit with the car imo. If it's going on the front, it just clashes with the lines. I prefer the FR-S de-badged if anything.

Thats how I feel. These past few years, Toyota (IMO) has pushed their brand as the economy car brand to match Honda and the like. Scion, at least for the American market, may have been their way to still retain a little of that "Hey we don't just do camrys and corollas" lol. Now when the Supra, the MR2, and to an extent, the Celica were freshly around, sure this car would fit in perfectly among them as a Toyota. I'd expect it actually. But I don't have any problems reping Scion. I actually like their logo lol. Besides, most people see this car and before they even see the badge, the last thing on their minds of what it is is a Scion lol. They are used to the xBs and tCs. I know the main catch of Scion is to appeal to "younger crowds" (I'm 25 myself), but I think its just Toyota trying to set the sporty and fun version apart from itself to keep cars like the FR-S alive and well.

At the end of the day though, no matter what your badge says on the outside or on your steering wheel, we're all driving Subarus under the hood hehe ! Cheers BRZ guys :happy0180:

Not to derail this thread more but I go back and forth on the Scion brand. The best example I can give is how would you feel if you found out the next awesome car like this was a PT Cruiser? Would you happily tool around in the PT Cruiser and not feel a little self conscious? If not then good you don't care what other people think. I personally don't care either, but I also don't like people making assumptions about me. I work with a lot of professional people that drive cars I wouldn't even consider buying due to how much they cost. So I drive a practical car and almost feel like if I drove a Scion they'd think I was trying to fake being "high end" like them or something. Yep it's kind of childish but the reality does exist in minds. Most of them will only know about scion from the "LOOK AT ME" commercials.

However, this car I feel is a chance to change that brand stigma around. So yeah let it shine if have the guts. :P
