looks awesome. sorta like an OpenDeck version of the xB2

I'd so rock the HAKO if it came out. Already know what modifications I'd do to it. I love my tC, but if the HAKO comes out as is, it's going to have to become someone elses.

Scion iQ, great idea and hope they run with it. The xB2 pictured above...very solid ride design and I think that could be a strong contender too. And earlier someone mentioned another car from Japan that Toyota based the xB off of...that looks like a 2nd gen xB but sized down to a 1st gen xB size...I like it!

Aurora, here's a thread about the current bB and the Materia (left-hand drive version) from way back in May of 2007...

You should be able to find a lot more with a search for Materia...

Cool, thanks Tomas!

This would give the ridgeline a good run for the money.

Is anyone actually BUYING Ridgelines?

Aurora

Are you kidding? This would kill the ridgeline and then vamp its gas and ride off into the night!!!!

Ive seen a few in VA, silver color only. Did they make any other color or maybe I am seeing the same truck over and over?

Tomas

I've only ever seen one - dark blue.

I have seen a few. Yea mostly silver though. Wierd. They arent a bad concept but the design is kinda lacking. I say A-bat or the truck style xb2 and scion will be starting to make its way back. They just need to get a new coupe in the line-up. I love my tC but i would like to see a new coupe running aound. I c way to many tC's.

I think Scion should build a version of the ABAT.

I'm not saying I would buy a KIA, but they've got some pretty good designers in there pocket now and the Soulster is a cool looking vehicle. They are actually thinking about bringing it into production. If Toyota is smart, they'll green light the ABAT, change the design a bit and brand it the Scion xT.

The iQ would be cool, but I think it could start to take away sales from the Yaris. The Yaris is pretty small already. I did see a Smart at my local Toyota dealer. Couldn't help but chuckle a little. That thing is so tiny!
