This off the recent Scion Press

Hollis did says that hybrid models are in Scion’s long-term future and even dropped another bomb – stating that all-wheel drive Scion models could be possible. In fact, Scion has already engaged in talks with Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., the parent company for Subaru, about using its AWD technology. Hollis said that with AWD he believes a sub-$20,000 model could be offered and even commented that the partnership between the two companies has, “just begun.” Could an AWD FT-86 model perhaps be the future of Scion?


Also todays release

Hollis did not mention any time duration for the appearance of Scion's first AWD model. Though, he did disclose that the offering would use an AWD system from partner Subaru. Hollis seems to be giving clues of the possibility for the Toyota FT-86 concept to arrive in showrooms as the next Scion tC

Possibly just possibly we may get the FT-86 badged as a Scion?

Would be awsome

AWD and RWD Scions would be great. I guess they took Ken Gushi's car into consideration.

I don't see how the ft86 could be awd if they concept is what they go with. The engine placement is too far back I think. If you look at imprezas and legacys there is a lot of overhang at the front.

Still I love the thought of awd and rwd Scions. It'd be awesome if the ft86 came out as a Scion because I'll probably trade my tC in for one.

YEEEEEAAAHHHHH AWD or RWD tC is not gonna happen guys, sorry.

FT-86 will be a Toyota, it will be the revival of the old AE86 Corolla

I think an awd tC would be more likely than a rwd. I agree with Atomsk though. The awd celicas were epic. It'd be nice to have a successor. I have a feeling it'd make Celica fans mad if it came as a Scion tho. Personally, I think it'd be awesome!
