It looks like the Preditor's mask.

I just want my doors to open like the driver's side.

Save all the tv's and crap for kids in minivans. I just want to drive.

 

Your quick redesign pic addresses 2 key problems:

* 2 fog lights are better than 1

* Rear windows are needed for visibility; although, a blind spot still exists because of the high rear seat backs and high window level, compared to the xB

Even after your improved redesign the t2B seems to me fatally flawed.

I must have one. Definitely merits some nice paint.

 

seriously if you don't know how to exit a car door...put your head next to that sign and slam....ugly POS evea

 

At the show, they have 2 scale T2B concept models, as well. One is a quasi fastback, theother looks like a 2 seat cargo.
I have the proof sheet from the press kit, how can i post a scan of it?[/img]

 

SWEET Looking out Dude ,now thats a Shibby right there , The lights look like eyes of a wolf it looks like a New age Mystery Machine( Scooby Doo van) NOW IS IT REAL !

 

I can not help to think that the t2B concept shares some exterior design features with the awful Dodge Magnum!

let see if this concept comes alive....

 

I expected the tC crowd not to like it "it looks too unlike a civic coupe. I'm frightened." But, I'm surprised the mixed reaction from the xB crew.

silverxb, your chop is exactly what I wanted to see, thanks.

The more I look at this concept the less I like that tC'ish grill, though.

 

Here is a pic of the truck and coupe I ripped from the presentation. I like the truck idea!!

Definitely a concept vehicle feel. But I think the ideas will translate nicely into a production version. The interior is rad!

 

AND STILL NO ARMREST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I like it !!!

 

"Definitely a concept vehicle feel. But I think the ideas will translate nicely into a production version"

Well said! That's exactly how I feel. I'm sure the t2B will morph into something that ends up on the lot. And, when it does, I'm pretty sure I'll want it

"AND STILL NO ARMREST!"

 

i really like the headlights and tails... the rest will grow on me... one and a alf thumbs up... the fastback toy looks hot... but i doubt it can be reproduced to scale to achieve the same look... the truck version is cool too, but reminds me of an ssr... still pretty hot though... i am going to be looking for a truck in the future -=D maybe this one will be it

 

So when will the production version come out, you think?

 

I plan to go to the auto show to give it a chance.

I personally think that the carefully added roundness of the back end weakens the unique squareness of the box.

many of us are addressing the same design flaw in different ways: the t2b has too much bulk in the butt.
The bumper makes it look like it has love handles.
Not the same leanness of the xB.
The pickup and the sportster seem more successful here.

The fog-light and backup light are wonderfully original. simple and clever. even if they never make production. and the wheel and roof scale work

However the nose seems derivative of the wrong car.
What's wrong with the elegant use of lights and grill in the horizontal band across the front...?IMHO this IS of the success of the current xb's front end. Please don't change single band for light and grill!

The Elements's suicide doors are unsafe and do not stand side impact as well as the xb.
That design change alone would stop me from upgrading to this car. The sliding doors could be great if they don't require too much effort.

the interior clearly was not intended for production but it is true to form and simple. very good stuff.

thanks scion for giving us the attention. Hope this helps

 

Man... its so pug-fugly. But that's how all concepts are.

I bet the t2b is gonna be much curvier.

I also bet... its gonna lug that engine we all want in our xB hahaa

 

whoops, two posts.

 

Sorry to say this, but the fastback version looks like the aztek, and it needs one more window in the back. but all in all, I like the rest.
