Latest rumor to hit the Net is that the joint-effort Subaru-Toyota sport coupe may be sold as a Scion. At least, that may be the case here in North America. In other markets, where there is no Scion brand one can only assume it will be branded a Toyota.
And, of course, there will be a version sold in most markets as a Subaru. I say most markets, as Subaru of Australia has stated they have no interest in this car. Why, you ask? It's RWD, and the Aussies (like myself, and perhaps other markets as well?) believe that RWD runs counter to Subaru's AWD brand image.

Toyota seems to have fumbled the Scion brand with product delay, so maybe this is one way of rebuilding the brand in NA. For many of us, RWD is of less interest than AWD however.

So will this thing just be the new TC?
