My biggest beef is that they increased the HP and cut down on the gas mileage

I believe they were trying to appeal to the Scion's customer base. It seems to be the choice car for tuners these days.

Which customer base, though? The one they marketed the car to, or the customers who were actually buying the cars? I know what Toyota’s thinking. And FWIW, I think they have a screw loose.
