I for one will miss the fixed-pricing.
I recently was offered 0% down, 0% interest rate on a new iM, but felt comfortable knowing I wasn't going to get a high-balled purchase price to make-up for the great financing - because due to fixed-pricing every iM going out the door has the same price! I'm kinda' sorry I didn't jump on it. Oh well ... |

I think he was referring to the classic JDM cars such as the Skyline and Silvia.

Definitely a wait and see where this goes. I hope they keep it the same and not do any face lifts yet with the exception of the Toyota badge. I hate the prototype pics on the front page.

It was a little confusing to me too until I read what he was quoting.

The only scion that MIGHT be collectable in the future is the release series builds. But even then this isnt an admirable brand and the legacy of the model is untold. |

Personally I do think its a good decision on their part. Scion never really did do that well on their own. Rebranding the Scion products into Toyota's may help with the appeal of the products due to the badge and the reputation it brings along. While I wish the Scion brand could have made it through, I don't really see it as a setback; but as a transition... but for good or worse, that's yet to be seen.

I was thinking more along the "yet" lines... Scion's monospec idea was a nice jumping off platform. Once it moves to Toyota, maybe the facelift will be their design language? Maybe they take off what little amenities there were and add them on to higher trims? Maybe they introduce new mechanical aspects that take away from the car? A lot of maybes, but in my mind it is a cool thought. A stock FRS will be rare down the line.
