Hmmm... that popular song with the "[censored] purple Scion" line must have did them in.

I believe several of the Scion models will be rebranded as a Toyota. The FR-S (maybe we'll finally get a Toyota 86!), the iM, iA and upcoming C-HR are suppose to become Toyotas. Maybe it was intentional that Scion had the same oval shaped logo as Toyota - easy change!

Toyota’s newest vehicles are also appealing more toward the younger generation that Scion was aiming at.
You mean like a corolla with the faux stitched dashboard with a flat vertical surface right in your face, some two tone wheels, and an AT shifter that was purposely made to look like a manual transmission shifter, despite the fact that most Americans are too lazy and stupid to drive one, even in an economy-oriented econobox???!?
Yeah right, Toyota. You keep trying...

I believe it's sold in other markets as a Toyota. I think both Top Gear and Fifth Gear did segments on this car in the UK

Ya the FR-S/BRZ in other markets is the FT-86.

Good riddance. I always thought Scion was a stupid idea, and every one of the cars was ugly, except maybe the FR-S.
Speaking of the FR-S, its sales have been down for a while. Probably due to the fact that they want WRX money for it when it's marketed as a performance car and has only a puny 200 HP and the WRX has 265 HP AND a lot of utility, while the FR-S/BR-Z is a 2-seater toy.
Offer it with turbo and maybe it would get my attention.

Exactly. That car was crying for a turbo.
It's not 2001 anymore. If you sell performance in a 4 cylinder package, that sucker better have a turbo.

Wow, congratulations, you completely missed the point!!
Their statement is still laughable based upon their silly designs.
Sorry, the new corolla interior design is... silly.
Manual trans wannabe and faux high end design...
Wonderful, enjoy... Soak it up.

Have you ever peeked at BMW automatic shifters. That are fake manual transmission shifters. Scion only stole the idea.

Scion was marketed all wrong from the get go. Toyota made them seem like a cheap second rate versions of the Toyota line and it bit them in the a$$.
