It seems as though the Scion brand has come to an end. I can't say I'm surprised. I've never been too crazy about any of their cars and sales are pitifully low. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Here in the states we always have extra names... Acura is a Honda anywhere else.. Scion was a marketing technique for the USA to get younger people to buy Toyotas. I think they think Americans are dumb like everyone else thinks lol.

I knew it wouldn't last from the first Tc I saw at the Chicago auto show in 2005. I thought 'man that's not a very good car for the price' and I was right. They're not, it's like the Toyota Solara. Weird niche, the cube cars did much better and weren't that bad inside or out.

Quick everyone! Grab all the Scion FRS badges you can find, wait until they posses big value, and boom! We will all be rich just because we sold Scion FRS Badges.

I hope that the TC comes back as a new Celica, since they are NOT going to bring the current TC over to Toyota.

Although I've never loved the tC, I am a little disappointed they won't be rebadging it and bringing it back. To me, it's the most successful car Scion has ever made. The xB was very successful for a short time and the FRS is a Subaru, so I can't figure out why it's being discontinued.
In other news, we still aren't getting the GT86. Now we'll have a Toyota FRS, because why not add a fourth name to the same car? -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.

Maybe they won't bring back the tC because they are plotting to debut a new Celica. If ever there was a time to bring back a nameplate it's during these times when car sales are at all time highs. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)

GM brought back the camaro, Honda brought back the s600, Toyota has the chance to bring back the Celica. We just need enough of us out here giving Toyota a reason to do it. -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)
