Toyota's "T" logo is ugly so it doesn't really matter.

I'm surprised a lot of people have never heard of it I can't take credit for it, it's an older term synonymous for the stupid straight through mufflers thrown on civics, corollas, neons etc:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fart+can

"The type of annoying muffler found on many pos compact cars today. Often capable of setting off car alarms and deafening infants. Most pitiful sounding on cars with automatic transmission."

It's kind of sad though that a lot of free flow exhaust systems that drone on the 4 cylinders can be called this without merit I think the definition should stretch to just the muffler adding 0 hp.

Don't you get crap from other Subie owners because your BRZ doesn't have four wheel drive and isn't hard on the eyes like the rest of their line up? I guess we all have our crosses to bear?

Your car doesn't fit the mold and Scion is a brand that nobody thinks of. Could be worse ... could be KIA or Hyundai (I had a Hyundai so I know first hand how embarrassing it was to own one and how their cars are literally disposable).

Everybody I talk to that sees it usually calls it a Toyota anyway. I understand the Scion stigma, but I usually associate that to the xb's, as those were the first ones out and were everywhere. I think the car does well in converting non-believers, the wide-eyed blank responses when you say its a scion looks more like a revelation than anything negative.

That the T logo is ugly. I thought that was obvious.

I don't need to state "to me" when giving my opinion of something as subjective as aesthetics as that is already implied.

Much like the OP's dislike of the Scion logos this whole thread is peoples of opinions of whats better, Toyota, Suburu or Scion in terms of logos for there car.
