So, with Toyota announcing that they are discontinuing the Scion brand and rebadging everything Toyota, does that mean they're going to call the FR-S the GT86?

I think they're calling all the Scions 86'd now.
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Well, yeah, we all knew that. But for some reason Toyota decided to release the GT86 as a Scion here...

Subie assembles the FR-S/86/BRZ and it does use their engine.  Most of the design work and a majority of the other components are from Toyota.  I believe that there is a second gen in the works.  No convertible, however.

Good car for the money, if thats what you want. You see a heap of Toyotas, but Subies are rare. The Toyotas got discounted.. I've heard a supercharger kit is available.

That is true, yes, there is a SC kit for the whole model line and there is a Greedy Turbo kit for the Sub . . .

Only on a racetrack. It borders on looking ridiculous on the street with that bolt on wing and those oversized wheels.
