Motorsports and "show" just doesn't sound right together but, that's just me...

No offense and props to whatever you do but when I hear show, I automatically assume HIN or things within that nature.

I do agree on your views on their marketing strategy, can't knock them as that's their target audience.

Anyhow, if you think deep about choosing between a corolla XRS vs Scion TC, which one would you pick? You definitely choose the Scion. Why? because the corolla interior is shit and the exterior is very boring, but yet the two damn cars are priced the same. Therefore, who cares how the Scions are used in aftermarket competitions, that is subjective to the participants and audience.

Scion was created to the attract the younger crowd who would not buy the boring toyota main line, because there are no cars left in the toyota family that are worthy to be tuned or raced. Supra, MR2, celica are long gone. Sales were too low to continue any those models because people are more focused on MPG with the war oil that is happening with the whole world now. Therefore the market to attract auto enthusiast and young buyers had to be stronger than just add 1 or 2 coupe/hip vehicles to the Toyota family. The Scion subsidiary was to let buyers feel unique, new, and trendy. On top of that, design is more creative in layout and appeal, not including how 3rd party and aftermarket jumps on every Scion as soon as it is being released.

So bottom line, Scions are just cars priced as they are. I have a Scion TC, it was approx. $15K when I bought it, bone stock. It drove as it was expected to 160HP, I didn't expect more or less from a $15K car. If I want more, I will probably spend another $10K. That is why I also have a used 2005 STI which I got for approx. $20k. So basically you pay for what you get, unless you buy Hondas, RIP OFF!!! hehe

Don't hate the car, hate the tuner who puts the car in a league that it doesn't belong in.

Shit talk is welcome...=)

Yes thats the reason for the Scion brand to attract younger buyers. Now me Im in my 30's and really wouldnt buy a Scion for that same reason. If they would have kept it a Toyota product then Id have one in my garage. Well that and a turbo. lol

Will be the first thing I do once sorting out the coilovers and rims... U can't get it at petrol stations here either but can get it delivered to ur door by the barrel through a few companies locally thank f***.... Only problem is if I run a catless exhaust the cops will be all over me from the smell...
