Toyota or Scion?
I just got the title and other paperwork for the XA I've had for a month now. I was surprised to see no mention of Scion, only Toyota. Actually it's says "TOY". Is everyone else's registered simply as Toyota (or TOY)?

Since the Scion name is a TMC marketing creation for the US domestic market, as the Lexus brand name is, legally your vehicle is still a Toyota and the DOT is obligated to record the most common name of the vehicle manufacturer in case of any liability. And more so since there is no Scion ID (or Lexus) in any code character in the VIN. It is just a technicality but the vehicle is a JTT being the third character the manufacturer code.
