I could see that working perhaps. TRD would work in conjunction with Toyota instead of trying to be an off shoot. If they did do that, then I think they would shut down or completely reinvent Scion at the same time.

It would be a good move to make and fact is, some people don't like the scion badge, the FR-S was a good example.

Do other brands have a comparable badge? Would it be like a sportier Buick?
sportier buick? with what they currently have? Maybe the regal, but sportier and buick... don't go together.Do other brands have a comparable badge? Would it be like a sportier Buick?
well think about it, if toyota sells a sportier corolla doest that make scion repetitive>
Yes, but the whole point was having TRD replace Scion, so that would kind of make sense and support the theme of the the thread.well think about it, if toyota sells a sportier corolla doest that make scion repetitive>
