Can i say with out a doubt there is no engine? No. What i can tell you is that there is no working mechanical parts underneath the Hako. And the exhaust is plugged about 3 inches in.

Scion reps have said it's an engine less mule...

Purely a design concept mock-up at this point.

This was kind of a pain in the neck...

Any other colors?

I like the white, then the grey, but that black looks absolutely EVIL. :D

Nicely done! Thanks!

The guy in the first pic of 'krdshrk's was probably 6ft if that (I just got back from the show myself), so that gives some perspective on how little this thing is.

When this debuted on Wed, I HATED it. After seeing it in person today, WOW. I still don't like the vertical windshield (having replaced mine in the box twice, I can vouch they should rethink that part), but this little thing is WAY cool! If they price it right, it could do really well for them.

Maybe the Hako should have a spare windshield instead of a spare tire... it'll probably get used more often, kind of like a rally car.

I can definitely see this car as the "young bachelor male" machine with just a few changes.

That leaves me out, but I'll just bet that with the right development on the idea it could be a real draw.

(Now that you are getting that right, Scion, can you go ahead and bring my Materia in? Thanks.)

I of course like the Solar Yellow version!! However, the Fred Flintstone engineless version needs some work.......

Just an additional note on the actual size of this vehicle: Note the size compared to the person standing next to it and pointing DOWN at it's roofline in this pic:
