I doubt they would do that. The whole idea for Scion is to get younger buyers and just about all kids only want one thing, speed. That's going to be so slow. You can see the speedometer only goes up to 180, and I'm pretty sure that's not in MPH.

lol, kids want speed, but parents who buy these cars for their kids don't, they want cheap, reliable and safe, and slow. so parents will probably love to buy these for their kids.

also, the buyer patterns are shifting from fast cars to fuel efficient cars. heck, at car max a few weeks ago, there was a year old corvette z06 for sale for $30k, why because nobody wants to buy them.

I'd roll in that... just add some ground effects (lip kit) and rims with a nice drop.... then boost that damn car!

I like it! Might even consider getting one if the seating position isn't too high and it has a Yaris engine.

I'm going to have to call BS on that one. Looking now and seeing nothing but $55,000+. Especially when an 07/08 Z06 on KBB is still 60-70k depending on mileage and packaging.

Anyone else think it's kinda cool? I do. Slam it on some 15-16" BBS and you're done. Word is they've already pretty much confirmed it'll be a new Scion.
