Sadly this was bound to happen. They lost the feel of what Scion was supposed to be a long time ago. The brand became just another car company. I had fun at all the Scion exposed events, Scion VIP, and that trip I won with them. Miss those days....

I wonder if this means they may possibly consider bringing the GT-S trim model GT86 over to the US? This may actually increase the overall MSRP of the FR-S meaning those who bought a Scion model got it for a steal.
Also, I wonder if that means any remaining Scion branded FR-S will be sold at a major price drop come August? Looks like potential buyers may have to make the tough decision to wait even longer! |

Well since Scion rolled out in Canada in 2012 with many dealers not joining until 13 or 14 they had a great 2 to 4 year run here!
I am sure both the Tc owners in my city will be sad to see they can not replace their cars when the lease is up.

the tC 1st gen was a great car for the price. I owned one for 9 years, put 110,000 miles on it with zero issues.

I feel kinda bad for the Scion dealership I got mine from. They're in the middle of a huge remodel. I hope they can swap those Scion signs for Toyota...

Maybe that's why they were having the remodel?

Pretty sure that before anybody approved the capital to remodel they would have had to have known. The Toyota signs were probably already on order.
