Is the Slayer-themed tC a good idea for SEMA?
Jonathon Klein just wrote a story for the Blog about Scion's Slayer-themed SEMA car—and he's a little skeptical about it.
Personally, I think it's kind of a cool idea, and pretty edgy at that. From a corporate standpoint, Slayer isn't exactly Taylor Swift. The band is all about hailing Satan and rivers of blood.
Stay tuned, as we'll be sure to have plenty of pics of it from the SEMA floor!

A few things, 1: SLAYER! 2: At least Scion isn't advertising to tight pant hipsters like Honda is. 3: Scion has always, since Day 1 been promoting music with the brand. Remember when you could go to a dealer and pick up 2-3 CD's of mixed CD's. Usually each one being of a different Genre?
Heck, the last Scion Exposed held for the Ohio region (it's been a few years since we've had another) they brought in acts like Chairlift, and RJD2. Was a great time, but the music was an added bonus. Beats some house DJ who plays his iTunes playlist for a crowd, adds some sound effects, and yells stupidly over the songs at points.
Will Slayer drive some marketing? Probably not. They aren't exactly a large driving force in the music, and really the only people who know Slayer, are people who've grown up with it. I'd much rather see Slayer design a car with Scion than West Coast Customs, or some joke shop like that.

Like I said, I think this is great!

Slayer makes me think of muscle cars and custom bikes. It would seem Skrillex or some Dubstep DJ would have been a better fit for a Scion tC. Does the tC's demographic even know who Slayer really even is? Seems a bit silly to me.

BTW here are some shots of the Slayer tC...
I'm not a big sound guy, but that set up in the rear is pretty dope.
