Considering the fact that theres going to be a scion FR-S here and Toyota FR-S everywhere else I could care less about the badge.

And speaking of racing heritage, does toyota have any racing teams anymore? And frankly I don't see how the Lexus LFA wouldn't ruin the toyota racing pedigree but scion FR-S could. It's still toyota, any way you slice it.

Maybe so nobody else does?

Toyota announced they're coming back to ALMS with a new LMP. And then there's NASCAR...

Really though, the brand elitist will just stick their fingers in their ears and say "LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU" even if it's all the same shit under the hood. I couldn't care less what the marque is, as long as the car is reliable and suits my needs.

+1. I like toyota because they make strong, reliable, and (sometimes secretly) exciting, fun cars. The badge exemplifies that, and Lexus and Scion share that. Make a good car, sell it. The badges don't matter as long as it's the same thing underneath.

I can understand the Lexus LFA consider its hypercar status it should be the halo car in their high end brand

and Scion FRS doesn't ruin anything as the FRS is a brand new car that is inspired by a toyota legend were as calling a Supra a Scion would be throwing away everything the mk1-4 did for toyota

I don't think any other automaker is interested in using the Supra nameplate. And even if they are why would Toyota care if they aren't intending to use it in the near future. And sources have said that a new Lexus SC is coming in 2014 that would also go hand in hand with this 2014 Supra rumor.
