For those saying Toyota should've used another type of vehicle, it's a marketing thing. If it's manufacturer-backed, the manufacturer is not going to use a vehicle that's not in production, which is why this isn't a Supra or a Soarer. The Lexus IS350 or IS-F makes would, under normal circumstanes, make more sense, but again, this is about marketing. There are far more people who drive Scion's that are attending these drift events or are interested in drifting than there are owners of Lexus-branded vehicles.

I also wouldn't be surprised if Toyota is using this opportunity to gauge public reaction for something they plan on doing in the near future; obviously a RWD small, affordable coupe, similar to Hyundai's Genesis.
