I totally agree with ya. Thats why it would fail. I mean it just doesnt seem like an economic vehicle on the road. But hey hopefully i am proved way wrong in my opinions by scion. I guess this negative thinking can pay off in the end. LOL

I can see some things int he Fuse they can water down. Turn the headlights into xB style non projected headlights. Remove the hoodscoop, make the sidevents open higher, put another grill where the scion emblem is, make the sideview mirrors bigger, round out the edges more.
It would not be the Fuse anymore.

I take back my $19,999 price and substitute it with another base $18,000 something for the next gen vehicle. I forgot they will no longer call it a tC (hopefully), so they can lower the cars price if they wanted to, as it's a whole new car.

Camry has gone a long way. It became a $20K car for a reason. The parts got better, the engine got bigger, the car itself simply evolved. With Scion, they won't keep raising the prices as the cars should not evolve, they simply discontinue it and replace it with a whole new vehicle altogether.

the thing with the fuse is it needs huge wheels which is very expensive and not for a sporty car in our age range. its not that i dont like the fuse its just not production material. I mean yea they copuls change those things but still the body is majorly unchanged. I do like the hood scoop but projectors would be good to have in my book.

See, that's the thing I'll like about Scion, and what I hate about most other American car companies: everyone has this notion that "more is better" and just keep piling ____ onto the mountain until it's an entirely different vehicle altogether, and then they give us a cheaper alternative.

With Scion's, the more expensive alternatives are supposed to be Toyota's. That was the point; to turn us all into loyal Toyota customers when we finally got some money by hooking us with these cheaper Scion's. If Scion falls into this "more is better" scheme, then they might as well just merge back with Toyota in 10 years, because they'll just be Toyota Pt. 2 by then.

Scion will find a way to water it down... Even if it isn't pretty.
