doesn't look like it's radical enough to be a Scion..

i bet that this is the toyota corolla.. which tries to look upscale.. but stays away from looking sporty.. so yeah i think this is a new corolla..

why is it that their styling, most of the time, has lots of overhang?

CLS Mercedez headlamps from the front view
Mazda 3 or possibly Matrix from the lateral view

Updated Toyota Allion/Premio? "Spy" pic and current vehicles look similar. Allion/Premio share stuff with the JDM Corolla but with a rear window wiper. Trunk opens like typical sedan. Shape of the tail lights are similar to the tC. Tail lights are LEDs.

BTW, Allion and Premio are built in the same plant as the tC. 4WD is available with the 1.8L 1ZZFE engine. Maybe sell the Allion/Premio as a Scion.

Hm... Good question....
Spy pics for the corolla look different, yet kinda similar.


Hope they stick to their concept headlights, And ADD some more "OOMPH!" overall.

i hardly see any of these cars lately being scions. they're not distinctive enough. period. they are also somewhat more bland than what they're replacing. everyone should know by now that toyota tosses tons of test cars and designs out there on the web and test tracks all the time.

Haha the hatch pictured looks like a production version of what the " Fuse " would be. Since we all know concepts never result in how they look when it comes to the showroom floor. Usually ends up being bland, boring and plain.

the first pics look ugly, the spy ones look good, for a corolla hatch. toyota would be crazy to go from the current matrix to something much simpler.

Allion.... looks alright.

To be honest, It looks just like the brand new toyota Yaris. And thats what I believe it to be. Im assuming this car was origially designed by scion (because toyota wants the same profit scion is making by selling more affordable cars), and re-badged as a toyota, seeing as the first pics were only a prototype.

And also as far as I knew, they were discontinuing the xA within the next year or so. But hey, its just my opinon.
And before you go and say "scion and toyota are the same company!".....They're NOT. Toyota sells scion, and puts a celica engine in them to keep up with the U.S. emissions standards. That is the only place they merge (so far). I was told this by numerous dealerships. That scion is it's own company in japan and is liscenced by Toyota out here.

Correct me if im wrong. lol. I just repeat what I've been told!! Not trying to fight! = )
