You drive the ugliest car in America--at least to a lot of people. (I drive the same so don't take offense)

Hell, I'd sell my xB for the Hako, if they make it resemble the prototype!

Maybe they were going for gnarly as sin lol,
The hako does have potential, but i think if they did everything to it people are suggesting it would come out looking a whole like like the materia/bB I still think they just need to bring us the third generation bB, and take some styling cues from the hako
PLEASE...

I hope scion is still listening because if they just looked on here the day after they showed the hako they would think its a total flop but people are warming up to it like they did to the xB1, and they are offering good suggestions rather then just saying how much they hate it and how they are going to sell there scion becuase they make unique cars that some people think are ugly.

someone who gets bored should go through and note the age of the people who like it. i know some r in the desired market, but from what i skimmed through its the people who owned hot rods that like this .... um.... car?

I like hot rods, and I think this car fails on all levels. Then when it seems more reasonable, with the slanted windshield and flipped top, it still fails in terms of 'hotrod'.

I think they should have limited number run of these like maybe 2000 at most and sell them in selected cities. I.E San Diego CA. I just like the size and how it looks like a mini xb. If they price it the same as a xb I don't mind. If they price it cheeper than the xb I don't mind ether.

VERY good point. Same goes for the xB2 Forum. No offense, but the average age of most xB2 enthusiasts and Hako lovers is way higher than Scions target demo.

Scion is said to be reading this thread right? I hope they see THIS post.

This post is not so much having to do with the Hako as much as just in case someone from Scion is watching.

A photoshopped Lexus prototype based on the Toyota Auris platform that would make a killer looking next gen tC in my opinion.



And the Toyota Auris which in my opinion would be a very cool Scion model should they want to branch a bit more.

The martix looks nothing like this-and I hate to say it but the matrix is ugly. It looks similar to the Yaris for me but I read teh articles, it's a UK replacement for the corolla

the new matrix is sick!

and while it may not look like the auris the auris is probably the same type of car which would be counter productive for toyota/scion to have released with the matrix.

Hako aka mini xb. I would so get it. I think it would compete with the civic SI hatch.

The next matrix is sick! But Scion should make all models have halo's in the headlights. That would be awesome and BMW couldn't brag anymore.

The Hako is pretty cool and you know if it comes out, someone is going to chop it to hell and back and make it some sick concept that will be at SEMA or CES...most likely Troy from 5 Axis.
