Where can i watch the video?

 

this thing is god awful it was ok till the shoebox got attached you know?????? like the front hate the back and the interior

 

hideous. should have left the Fuse as a coupe, not a van.

 

ewww... nasty..

 

I called it ... its HORRIBLE. What a dissapointment and waste of money. Seriously wtf

 

WTF is about all i can come up with.. i was anxiously awaiting coming home to see these pics and when i caught my first glipse of a thumbnail online my eyes about fell out of my head.. Scion... you started by picking 2 models out of your japanease lineup and rebadged them and you were succuessful. YOU already make cars that will sell!! pick a couple more out of your japanease collection and throw em into production for the US

 

I second that emotion hahaha! Give is a modern day two door starlet hatch and call it a scion! I will buy tommorow! Heck give us the new ae86 and make it look like a rounded off ae86 *LOL* Do not screw it up by trying to be a trend setter! You got lucky with the box, this time around you failed!

 

I like the 1940 Coupe Retro look. Great Concept.

Now for the Big question!
Will this or something like it ever be produced?

@tCTaco - You're not alone. I thought with the introduction of SCION that we would see more Asian and European models in the showroom. The Daihatsu Copen, Be Go & Mira Custom would get my vote.

 

Hey can you try it with a reverse-angled windshield? like this \ angle

 

Man I hope scion is reading all of this and LEARNING FROM THIER MISTAKES... Damn it.. GIVE IS A SEXY BEAST WITH A TURBO! And MAKE IT AWD OR RWD

 

I hope Scion reads all these opinions because they totally failed here... They tried too hard on this one or maybe not at all...

 

Exactly.....hell...even a small compact 4x4(not AWD) would be kickass...Like an old Suzuki Samurai...it fits with the Scion Fam

 

yeah, it looks like the hot rod the design was obviously influenced by
but...

what else can you do to it?
the problem with this stylized concept is that it limits you too much. there are only so many ways you can do a hot rod/rat rod
its a one-trick pony. and sadly, it will become stale very quickly
try making this look follow the VIP style, or try making it look futuristic...

its a bit ironic.
we turn to the JDM market for their quirky designs and now the 'trend-setting' japanese youth are turning to American hot rods for their influences.
the problem is that we already experienced it in our culture and in all the retro designs that the Big 3 have put on the market... that 'theme' has been done to death in the US car market.

 

According to the press release, THIS CONCEPT was based on "intently listening to their customers"

W T F

Who//when/where did any Scion customer ask for 1940s hotrod style??

-THE DON

 

If they were listening...then maybe it will be a boosted RWD.....if thats the case then sign me up......but i highly doubt it.....

 

I sure hope Toyota doesn't let the next Celica/Supra Look ____ poor like this. I am VERY dissapointed. The FT-HS is what should be the design model for the new Supra/Celica.

Even then... wouldn't you rather just have a boosted RWD tC? Not this fugly thing.

-THE DON

 

Problem is, they are trying to give us what the Japanese youth think is cool.....our old designs. This is just a regurgitation of what we have already had; hot rods from the early/mid 20th century. What made the first gen Scion popular was the fact that we were getting what we thought was cool from Toyota's regular JDM lineup. It's the same disappointment that Ford lovers feel when they see what the rest of the world markets get in comparison. Toyota needs to step back and look at what they're selling elsewhere, originally unoriginal. "Trying too hard" should be Scion's new slogan.

 

And they don't sell Scions in Tokyo...

So what SCION "customers" did they listen to?
