Quirky is one thing, butt ugly is another. But it was the 135th best selling vehicle in America last year.

All a part of the continuing sissification of America, where no one can say anything to hurt people's feelings or do anything to take care of themselves if they're under 18

This.
The brand is an embarrassment, it's basically some 40-somethings retarded condescending ideas about what 20-somethings think is cool and edgy but most of the people who actually buy the cars are senior citizens.

Agreed. Many 20 somethings these days are either going to college (and broke) or working a job that doesn't pay enough to satisfy all of their wants and needs, especially if they're buying new phones every year and keeping up with the latest trends. Many of them can't afford to buy a brand new car out-right. It's only the middle aged citizens that can afford to buy a new car off the lot.

Assuming the author owns an FR-S.


I think he is right. I will always remember particularly when this girl, probably 10 years younger than me, pulled up beside me during near gridlock traffic; she looked at me, put her hands together and gave me a bow.


Regardless, I do get bullied in my car regularly. Does this mean I'm a coward? No, because cowards are the ones that usually have the problems. When I'm driving, I have no problems.

The Og is a good idea. When I was a teenager, I was given false information to not even glance at the vehicle's driver beside you. Apparently, some rough neighborhoods, doing that could result in a gunshot wound. If Scion created a "Og", maybe some memories will conjure up with late-mid Gen-X'er douches. Maybe this "coward" could be an Og?

The TLC, should be sold but the odds are stacked against it at the moment.


When I did some continental travels, they still sell these brand new at the dealership so it won't be hard to make more.


The TPP agreement still needs to be ratified. With Ford leaving Japan this year citing its 'closed' market, it doesn't particularly bode well for the Scion TLC.

Funny how 4 out of the 5 vehicles can be bought here. As far as I'm concerned, you can take the econobox, the minivan and the taxi. I'll keep the 86.

And then tell us how much it cost.
Or how much you pay for parking.
