xb 2nd gen= Rumion in japan
xa= ist
xd= ist new version, and urban utility vehicle in europe.

the FT86 will NEVER be a scion because it wont go with scions price retail. the FT86 will be well over 20k possibly even over 25k. when scions only retail in the mid to low teens.
I'm aware of bB and ist in japan. Scion's only USDM though. And to market the FT-86 as the new tC(only sold in the US) would make no sense for Toyota. I'm sure this things for the global market, so it will never be a scion. And Toyota wants to keep the price tag around 20k, above normal for scion pricing. So in conclusion rosedale, you are dissecting too much into what I stated. Scion's are USDM.

ohh ok I know wat u mean. idk I think the new tc will be offered in japan aswell. making it a jdm car, from wat is known looks like the fuse will be the new tc replacement but with a mic of the old tc in it aswell. the FT86 has a price tag of low <25k but fully loaded will cost about high 20s low 30s. the ft86 will never be a scion bc of that. scion wa made to have a very low price tag and be affordable. that car simply won't cut it for the brand

I hate the fuse. I hope they realize they are ruining the tC's future. I think I read somewhere that the engine for the FT-86 will only be a 2.0L to keep costs as near as 20k as possible.

The tC will not be RWD.
The tC will not have a Subaru motor.
The tC will remain a crappy little FWD smutmobile.
