Anyone going to switch badges?

First time poster here, when I heard about the car and SAW the prototype and saw the PRICE TAG I said to myself I am damn well going to buy that car when it gets here.

But from what Ive read so far here in Canada it will be sold as the Scion? Well I would way rather have a Toyota, but since thats not going to happen I would still rather have Toyota badges instead of roll around reppin' Scion.

So I was thinking of just switching the badges from Scion to Toyota.. Thoughts?

You can change all the badges you want but it's still a Scion. If you don't want a Scion, I'd recommend getting the Subie version or looking at something else.

The problem with badge-switching is this: Non-car people won't notice/care, and car people will think you're a tool (because you are). It's a no-win situation.

I might de-badge it for a clean look.

I would de-badge before I re-badge, and not only because it's impossible to avoid that step, but I just think it would look better to have no badges at all than have mismatched ones.

no badges? then you'd have a giant phallus on your hood. look at the car again and imagine it without that front badge...
