As Paris Hilton would say "that's hot"

 

i hate to say it but the more i look at it the more it grows on me.... I'm starting to like it.... esp after seeing it in different colors

 

The only thing i would add .. bags. I would keep my RS1 as a daily ... and make this my Scion Show Hako. Drive in, hit the switch and ppssssshhhhhttt! down to the rails.

Very good job on the color pallet given.

 

Yeah I'm 5'9" and without standing on the platform I could see the design on the top of the Hako... it's mad short.

 

from the carscoop auto blog site
here is their take on the hako

 

(BTW, that little flamed Hako that was Photoshopped would almost cause crashes buzzing down the street around here as people swiveled their heads like owls to stare...) :D

 

i love it!

 

I am seeing a Red x?????????

 

Even in LA it would turn heads......

She's my little Deuce Coupe---you don't know what I got.............

 

While trying to find the video of the unveiling of the Hako, i found a short clip about the hako done by My Ride, and it was very positive towards the Hako to my pleaseant surprise. Heres the vid if you want to check it.

Can't handle that vertical windshield, though. *sigh*


(With apologies to the original artist...)

 

I like it but still think it needs these touches

1) Windshield
2) wider grill
3) rear pillar
4) smaller handles
5) ? bigger headlights

 

yeah, that slanted windshield is a massive improvement.

 

I'm so glad this is not the tC replacement.

 

how do you know ?

I hope it is get rid of the blah tc.

 

anyone else think that's incredibly ugly?

 

I love it.

 

You must have skipped the first 20 pages...

The more I think about it, and look at it, I see what Scion was trying to do, but this concept is still a big dissapointment in my mind.

And as for the photoshops.... As others have said, it's a one trick pony. Rat rod style is your only option.

ALSO, the biggest, boldest statement Scion made with this concept was overly sharp 90 degree angled windshield (probably in response to people not liking the "rounded" xb2) but that's the first thing people "fix" when they photoshop it! :?

I mean, if Scion made a 3-wheel concept car, and everyone immediately started photoshopping it with 4 wheels, it would remove the "concept" of the design. So basically, anyone who says "it would look good with a slanted windshield", is in essence saying, "Scion needs to go back to the drawing board."

Catch my drift? I'll end my rambling now.

-THE DON

 

No, Don, you are making sense.

(But remember too, the object of a "concept car" is to GET those responses to CORRECT the direction of the design. Right now, the feedback is strong and for the most part useful to the process. It's an iteration process - step by step to a final release product.)

 

You 100 % correct Mr. Don. I like the angled windshield, but i fell in love with the concept of having a 12" high verticle windshield. It has been done before. Will it be done again, who knows. What i can tell you is that this is the exact response Scion was expecting to get from this concept. Love It or Hate It.
