That would make the most sense since they wouldn't be able to fit it into the Toyota proper or Lexus lineup. It would definitely help refresh the much-aged TC, and capitalize on the momentum garnered by the introduction of the FRS. Now if they would redesign the xB and literally put the body on top of the prius chassis/drivetrain, they could kep the iQ on life support and have a lineup for the Scion brand worth keeping Scion around.

it did... but maybe this is some global version now, since old one sold in limited markets while they do need global coupe cheaper than FRS.

It's the Corolla concept. If you go to Toyota.com's Concept Car page, there's a box in the lower bottom right, says Corolla Furia, no pic and the link doesn't work.
