Great, you can make your car into a GT86 by Toyota.

Why does it matter if it is called a Scion? Why is that bad?
Toyota 86 = OMG I WANT ONE!!!
Scion FRS = EWW BLEHH NO!!!!


They want the car because its an awesome car. But they don't want it because the badge drop kicks their ego right in the nuts and they will feel like a pitiful peon driving an inferior vehicle.


They should honestly just rebadge it as a Lexus because the irony of the whole thing is that the Toyota badge is also not a 'cool' brand. At least Lexus is a luxury brand and is always in the conversation with the german big 3. Toyota on the other hand is the epitome of vanilla appliance. Is your Toyota 86 an appliance?
