In this case, I think it's more appropriate since it's only rebadged for the states. Whereas people rebadging the tC1 really didn't make sense being it was for N. America only.

Not sure. Scion is a great brand, born from Toyota. Like Jon said, since there is a Japanese counterpart, making it more JDM adds to the draw of rebadging.

Follow the thread link to see the front.

Technically its a rebadged Toyota. Toyota only released it here as Scion for marketing purposes. Toyota badge looks more authentic on FR-S.

All original is probably the best look for any enthusiast. Plus letting Scion thrive a bit might be good since we're finally getting what we wanted since either 98/2005; depending on your thurst for Supra or Celica.

To each their own but it still looks cool! I'll be stoked to ride Scion soon.
