It's "boxer" as in EJ25. Not the Porsche.

 

 

lol i knew it was the subaru boxer i just always thought it was boxter not boxer....so not an epic fail but yea i wonder if we could fit turbos on there if no rear mount is ok

 

wow, ugly sketch...

 

So call it a Toyota here in the states. Or make it Scion's "Halo Car", something to improve the brand image and sell more xDs to 16yo 1st time drivers.

The problem is that Scion was created to draw new customers into the Toyota family, but they haven't done ANYTHING to keep us there. There's no sporty Toyota, no entry-level Lexus, nothing between them and entry / kinda sporty Scion. So great, Toyota, you captured a 1st time Toyota buyer. Unfortunately, now where am I supposed to go? Either expand Scion upwards or start building better Toyotas. Otherwise I'll just be another person who started with Scion and then went on to other car manufacturers...

 

Sweet. My tc should be just about paid off when this bad boy comes out. Might get this.

 

well, there is always the Corolla Axio from Japan. getting a boosted 1NZFE. that car has more potential

 

it's not going to be marketed as a scion in the united states, or anywhere else for that matter. these guys got teir info wrong.

it'll be marketed as a Toyota in only japan, and a SUBARU everywhere else. I'll add a few links to back up my claim

no scion here

 

All of those are almost 1/2 year old. Try again with a NEW source.

 

I'll see you your unsubstantiated claims and raise you newer, but still unsubstantiated rumors:

Woohoo, I readz it on the internets so it must be true!!!
(edit - I also noticed that both AB and Edmunds *both* reference the same story in InsideLine, and the Camaro forum post doesn't say anything about branding outside of the UK.)

In all seriousness, anybody who knows the truth isn't talking, and anybody talking doesn't know the truth. We'll just have to wait and see. All we know is that:

1) Toyota and Subaru are teaming up to make an entry-level, RWD coupe and
2) A product like that would fit very well in the Scion brand here in the US.

There are all sorts of reasons why that's not going to happen, including exclusivity agreements between Toyota and Subaru, pricing not being in Scion's traditional range (neither was the tC when it came out), cost, falling dollar vs the Yen, etc.

 

Subaru's boxer engine is amazing.

 

The TC replacement is going to be the Fuse.
The new co-op rwd car will come in the toyota line.
The HAKO is on the table for 2011,and rumors of a scion pickup truck !!!!

 

whatever it is whether scion or toyota.....hopfully toyota, i drive a tC and personaly dislike the name scion and the scion emblem.....no offense, dont ask my why i drive this car, it was a gift, i do the best with what i got.....

since they state itll come around 200 hp....you think iltll be the same motor as the wrx? or does it stay n/a

 

well i guess those articles are old. oh well

any ways the name scion has a reason...

in the dictionary it means - decendant or heir. and scion is the "decendant" of toyota. I personally think it sound bad A$$ lol

 

oh and your the genius behind it all so this must be 100% true?

i wouldnt mind a scion pickup though.

 

does scion have anything planned for the la auto show?

 

Alot of theses rumors are usually true, I don't see any reason why they won't sell it as the new tC. They would only be giving alot of scion owners what they've been asking for. They need to stay in the game and this is their best way to do it. If they don't they are going to lose out to hyundai and nissan with their rwd coupes. All we can do is wait and see.

 

Watching.

 

saving up money for GTR ....by the time new TC come out..i'm too old for ThisCrap...lol

 

^ ur never to old to drive a tC.
