How do you think poor Jeep guys feel? Their cars have been through 4 different companies over the years.
NOTHING changes except some badges, some document logos and the sign at the Dealerships (and hopefully some options if they don't make the 17s+ hideous).

OK back to worrying if you can get parts, planning your retirements on your rare collectors cars increased value and analyzing the declining sales with no real data to work with.

To be fair, very few people actually gave a flying fuck that the Scion branded is getting killed off.

The majority of this thread is full of people who despise Scion and are celebrating at the end of aesthetically awful concepts and cringeworthy ads.

Ya that wasn't directed to everybody. The ones that seem to think the car is now gone, rare, valuable or in any way changed however...

I'll just quote myself from the Random Thoughts thread:

Mods, I wish you luck when this happens, especially you, Itchy Taco-senpai.

Apparently it will still be called the 'FRS' http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/2016...e-toyota-fr-s/ .

noobcake · 02-03-2016, 07:13 PM

Good, always saw scion as the poser brand that attracted people that didn't know jack sh1t about cars. besides frs of course.
