It kinda looks like a retarded 370z
But either way, it will most likely be garbage. Scion = shitty build quality. The subaru version will be the only way to go if you want this car. But as stated before, why would you want to downgrade? After the Rx8, the only choice would be a Cayman S..lol.

Toyota has been working pretty hard to bring their image back. When you look at their design spec/concept/blueprint. You will know they spent a lot of time on the body and drivetrain.
In Japan they're still selling it under Toyota's name.
Its just that their US marketing team think that only "useless spoiled kids" would ike it under Scion's badge and release it as a Scion.
For me, I liked the car, but Im not going to lower myself into the "Scion" group. no matter how good the car will be.
I rather get it as a subbie.
See this is the part I liked about Nissan and their GT-R. their Infiniti division was crying like why don't Nissan head quarters sell GT-R as an Infiniti? Well, too bad, GT-R is Nissan's legend. not Infiniti

Props to Toyota and Subaru both for opting to put an NA 2.0L 4-banger in this car... Sure you'll get embarrassed by Civics and Kias, but at least you'll look good doing it.

Selling price for the Scion FT-86 model will be $25,000 in the United States. Styling changes are expected, to "square" with the Scion brand's more boxy designs. The model is scheduled to debut in 2012.

Those new pics look horrible compared to the first concept. It looks like a Genesis Coupe now with a EVO grill tacked on the front. Also I see a little of the Citroen GT "one car's rear coming out of another car's rear". I hate that and I hope its not gonna be a new automotive trend. Looks like they are doing it in the front a little too. Ugggh

At that price, I'll buy two just to **** off people like you who hate the styling, and then I'll go race a Civic... I'll beat him in the turns because it's got a Porsche Cayman suspension.
So there.

Damn it! Anyone who make a good car, that performs, that's not price gouging the owner that buys it, is ok in my playbook.

Oh yea, if it doesn't look good...forget it. And no solid rear axle. Not to many gadgets. Good windshield I can see outa. Lightweight, no heavy tanks with useless HP tomake up for it. Oh right, decent mileage. And it should have gauges, real gauges too. Almost forgot, manual tranny, seats you can't flop around in, easy to work on and mod with cheap parts available, comfortable....and great resale value.....that's good for now....let me think....

I think it's been decided. It's apparently going to be a Scion. They're going to reveal more information about this week at the New York Auto Show, but here's the teaser.
