Scion or Toyota ?
There has been a lot of talk recently about this concept coming as a Scion.
Am i wrong to think that it would be a total failure if it were to happen. What do you guys think Toyota or Scion and please explain why. I am 100% for Toyota because of past history on sport cars and also global recognition. I am against Scion because, they're cheap, low performance, economical cars that are intended for young new drivers

Lol again with the Toyota vs Scion. Say the car were to come out same price range and same performance that has been said so far BUT its got a Scion badge; and would more than likely be a Toyota where Scion isn't sold so it would be the same car just badged different for USA/Canada (or wherever else scion is sold). Is it then still a cheap low performance economical car if so then thats what you're calling it now? If Geo were still around and say they made a ultimate sport compact/sports car with cool looks and awsome performance for under or around $20k, people would not buy it because it was a Geo (probably including myself) even though it could compare with or beat other production sport cars (now remember this is just an example). So tell me if I'm wrong, but I could care less what it comes out as, yes I would PREFER a Toyota but doesn't matter either way in my eyes I just wish it was closer to release so we could have more info.

That would have been a lot easier. I'm probably going to get flamed for this but whatever... it guess it makes sense coming from a guy/girl who drives a 03 Hyundai Tiburon.

Ok just say it, Toyota or Scion.
Saying "I don't care about the badge" is very unwelcome to the threat because there is no 3rd choice. Toyota FTW. |

I'm with the majority and say it's gotta be a Toyota or bust!

Once i got in my thread was already posted but without the polls

Toyota please!
Family has driven Toyotas since i was little cant think of driving anything else even though they haven't offered anything fun for awhile. If FT68 doesn't deliver i would prolly lose all faith and get a subie. Last edited by Ryuu0u; 11-16-2010 at 04:12 PM. Reason: ooops |

Just like what I said back then I'm on the driving experience not the name, But if I'm given choice hope its a Toyota. why? if this is the AE86 reborn it needs to be a Toyota to make it officially a retro remake. I saw how hard Toyota tried to promote scion to be a serious tuner platform, But still came out short. one thing made the AE86 a great car is its rich racing history road race & rally that happened due to Toyota European and Asian already strong racing background, to continue this long history I hope its Toyota.
