Can somebody explain to me the rationale in branding this car as Scion? I and I bet many others are immediately turned off because of the image Scion has come to portray. I mean yes, ultimately it comes down to how the car performs but I feel like Toyota is immediately cutting down the market size by doing so. In my opinion, branding it as Toyota wouldn't have the reverse effect of cutting out young drivers as long as it remained affordable. Apologize if this was addressed earlier in the thread.

The supra wasn't a separate model until the third gen.

Yeah I get that they are based off the same chassis, but I was referring to that guy's comment about "ricer wing on the celica" when clearly in the picture it's a Supra. :/

The wing on the Supra is the stock wing, and if Im not mistaken the only one that generation ever came available with. It may be unnecessarily large but its not like some ricer slapped it on. The wing on the FT looks like a cross between that and the new Subaru wing.

And I thought there are only going to be 2 versions of the FT, a Scion and a Subaru. It will not be badged as a Toyota.

It's that big so it doesn't obstruct the rear view.

It's part of their add campaign, scions are selling like crazy, so they're trying to infuse that market with a 'sportier' rear wheel drive car to offset the tC and xD. To fight the Genesis really... To badge it as a Toyota might have hindered it's selling due to the fact they can't do the same price range as they can with a Scion due to Scions really all being < $20k. As a Toyota they wouldn't be able to market it like that. Plus with everyone hating on Toyota it would have drawn unnecessary negative attention with the recall 2 years ago..

No, the original car was the FT-86, branded as a Toyota. And there was going to be a Subaru version still yet named/depicted/unveiled. The FT-86 has since been rebranded as a Scion under the name FR-S. So as it stands right now, expect 2 versions unless Toyota still keeps a few frames for their own brand...

You have to live it 1/4 mile at a time cause you're always importing parts from Japan... ...if you have to.
