Motor Trend has listed on their SPIED page a sighting of the 2009 Scion xR, a rally-inspired sedan. There is no photo or other information, just a line that reads:

2009 Scion xR: Four-door, rally-inspired car.

I'd sure like to see what they have in mind....Google has no results..

 

I've recently concluded that automags are usually horrible at guessing what Toyota will produce.

Their spy pics are usually awful PS, and that recent avalon fish looking blundermobile was a joke. Without any evidence to back up their claim, I'll listen and give them props if they are right, but other than that I take it with a grain of salt.

A rally car? That would be nice tho. . . hey, maybe that's why they bought out GM's stake in Subaru?

 

Are we going to see a Scionaru?

 

Here you go -

 

Hmm....

perhaps.... .

 

does this have connection to the fact that toyota just bought out GM's stock in Subaru?

 

I believe that is just a kitted out JDM Platz (echo sedan)

 

Nope. It was an echo... until I cut the top a little and then and lowered the overall platform and increased the wheel length.

That's my own photochop. :D

Yeah, a Platz is identical to an Echo. . . I've just never seen one like that. . . and now I see that is a PS. Good job, you fooled me.

 

the idea of the xa becoming a rally car makes sense with the center mount gauges ride height. i've heard rumors of the they were going to use the matrix but maybe they plan on just using the matrix drivetrain system. which has been proven before in the gt-four celica and all-trac celica. the rumor i head was the newer 3sgte which we haven't gotten yet with vvti. be nice if we do get it with a manual transmission.

 

you had me going for a second with that picture

 

here is the true xR lol i switched all the symbols on my rs2.0 sinces xA rs2.0 .... i figured xR looks good....



What do you all think?

 

is the xA a little tall to be a rally car? seems tall anyways, that's why the headroom

 

As it sits, it is a little high, but they are allowed "liberties" with the sheetmetal....

 

Cutie but the pic look like a hooked up senta spec v for my the side sorry guys try again

 

And the Photoshop award goes too...............
