College kids really do love those Scions--especially the tC. It's coupe styling, promotion of personalization, Toyota reliability and generation-Y marketing schemes have led many young people to go out and buy one of their own.

For those of us with passion, it was ignored because of its front-wheel-drive layout.

Not so long ago, Toyota was making promises of a sub-$25,000 rear-wheel-drive coupe that would look an awful lot like its gorgeous FT-86 concept car. They have decided that the part of the company that could use a rear-wheel-drive sales boost the most would be Scion.

Power is expected to come from a 2.0-liter boxer engine that should make around 200 horsepower. If it remains affordable, this new car could become the basis for another wave of personalization for performance.
