I like hot rods. I Like rat rods. I Like old 30's-40's american cars. I like modern cars. I like the xB, xA, tC and the xD. I HATE the PT cruiser. The Hako looks like a box slammed on to a PT cruiser. If Scion had come out with this before the pt cruiser than I'd give them kudos for something retro new. But ya know what? They didn't. We in america have been done to death with retro by the domestic car companies. We don't need imports to do the same.
Having said all that tho, the concept is well done. Would like to point out that the old 30's cars greenhouses were slanted slightly, and most importantly on the sides whereas the Hako isn't.

 

oh yea, dunno if that was posted here but we were told that the glass is a bit thicker and supposedely stronger then from normal

 

That's a fairly valid point.

I'll counterpoint: the Hako isn't a modern interpretation of old American 30's-40's coupes. It's an interpretation of Japanese interpretation of 30's-40's coupe. It's roughly, the same thing but it's also nuanced.

I have a question though.... does any see ANY JGTC influence?

 

Thanks.
lol. If ya split that any finer we're gunna get a nuclear reaction, but I hear ya.

 

x2!

I love the hako =3!

 

my shot at the top

 

You should not be allowed to drop acid and design cars.

Oh man.

 

Sorry folks... I am digging this one...

I love the ratrod look and damn... what a nice color!!!


If it takes dropping acid to design a great car like that... I will start buying stock in my local acid dealer...

 

i love it, i only wish they would have done suicide doors, that would be pretty neat.

 

and how many sub 30 year olds can truly afford the insurance of a turbo awd or rwd coupe?

not too many.

let alone the MUCH more than likely WAY over 20K priceline that scion hold.

the mr-s may not have been bad arserd but it sold quite well , handled amazingly and with a kit and turbo/motorswap is a beautiful MONSTER of a car.

you seem quite closed minded , I suppose tis why you bought a plain jane overweight tc.

 

like I said earlier today this will be a sweet lil jap made hot rod styled thing like just about nothing else.

 

I still like the Hako, but...

Here's an idea- take the JDM bB and give it the door configuration of the Hako, as well as it's greenhouse from behind the A-pillars rearward (keeping the bB's windshield rake...) Make the wheel wells larger and the fenders more pronounced like the Hako, and that's a car I can see alot of people in the Scion community getting excited about.

 

I know Im a bit late, but WOW! I did not see that coming. I thought I was going to choke when this came across my monitor.

 

I like it with this roof better but do dig the original a bit
BUT I vote for a bB / materia "souped" up body wise IE muscular wheel arches etc

 

I also think no A piller / fat C piller is more SCION family (xb / xd ) then HAKO's fat A / no C piller

 

uh..this makes me want to trade in my tc

 

the fat c pillar is not SCION it's Toyota and the new (less scion) xB2 and xD

 

Scion.......

NO.

 

damn raisingstorm, that would look like a tc replacement.
but i think its safe to say, this hako concept will be influencing the XB or future XE
so the new tC design is still a mystery....

 

ok
so here's my take on it ...
