I hope to god it is not a Scion. Every Toyota buyer interested in this car wants it under the Toyota label. Not to mention Scion isn't sold at all Toyota dealers.

Not to mention, Scion was some dumb idea for this part of the world...

I don`t see how this is better than the Toyota Edition. Subaru`s edition is probably going to be AWD and we all know how boring those cars are(With the exception of the Murcielago and Veyron)

Gathering from comments from various forums, it seems most enthusiast-ish people prefer the Toyota version more... not because of design or anything, but because the Toyota version is going to be RWD, not AWD.

I think I like the Toyota version more, too. It's likely going to be lighter and have a less parasitic drivetrain.

...and the Evo, GT-R/ Skyline, Ur-Quattro, 323 GTX, STi, WRX, various Porsches... yes AWD makes for quite a dull car especially when combined with a turbo.
