Also, why would a Scion badge raise the price? Scions are cheaper than Toyota's when you factor in all the standard features. Check out the xD. Comes loaded for under $16K. A loaded Yaris (still less features and smaller engine) will cost more than that.

They do, I've seen the raised pricing on models like xD and used xA and xB (1st gen models)....Stevens Creek Toyota, Hayward Toyota, Piercey Toyota, Fremont Toyota....i can go on and on about the other dealerships pricey Scion models.
The Scion (Netz) iQ is suppose to be around the 17k mark, MORE than a well equipped Yaris.....Scion are overpriced....maybe not on your end~

And Scion are a waste....at least the direction they are headed. Not back in the xA and xB days...

so why wouldnt they do the scion thing??? i see scion as a niche for sporty mid and small sized cars. specially since they have all those commercials about mod-ing the things. you'll never see a toyota commercial with a mod'd car in it. the toyota sports cars died with the supra, and i believe they'll never come out with another sports car.

however...lexus and scion have some, but they're not 'toyota's'

That modding thing they advertise is a JOKE. Most of it are interior upgrades and a few ugly ass body kits...overpriced yet AGAIN~
The only thing i liked was that they had the SuperCharger (?) for the 1st gen tC directly from Toyota...

Scion is NOTHING like Netz and other brands of Toyota in Japan..vast modding options there~

I know because before the Yaris i was about to buy a base model tC 16k out the door at Oakland Toyota in 2007....

I HOPE they dont badge this as a Scion.....reduced expectation of sales...modding community will point and laugh because Scion really hasnt shown a great reputation unlike Nissan, Honda, and Mitsubishi...

Oh well, at least i can get the Subaru version.

Here's hoping that Toyota gives the tuner community a place in its alrady family lineup....
