I find that oddly attractive. I'm not sure why. Part of me says WTF, the another part of me says OMG.

OMGWTF!

Totally stealing an idea on the old el caminos .. my dad had an SS, he'd poop a brick if I bring home a TRD xP.

Does anyone else notice that our car names look like emotes??!

I like it especially the color. The grille looks more Tundra-ish than Audi. Looks like a Transformer! The article noted "runabout." Would that mean it's mid-engine like the MR2 (Midship Runabout 2 seater)? Probably not since the hood is pretty long. They should have three seat belts. Bench seating style for those special occasions.

I've read that Hyundai is also bringing a small pickup.

whoah did they say 12k?! i would have eaten this thing up in seconds over the xA and xB..... well maybe not the xB but it would have seriously been considered.... especially how cheap! of course it will change when production time comes around...... but whoah! how "real" is all this? anyone with a foot in scions door know if this is actually considered or just a silly idea?

By the time this came out, I'll most likely be paid off on my box. I'd get one of these for a winter beater.

Never had the little Dodge thing, or the VW. Did own a Brat and an El Camino. Hmmm - Scion? Maybe. Actually I'm half hearted looking at 5th generation El Caminos again. That's the way us old farts get......

Ya but think of it this way.. if it's a 2010 model, that means release in 2009... which is barely 2 yrs away. Not that far off, IMO.

Yeah on the car names = emotes, check out the Scion xD advertising at
http://www.littledeviant.com/
the face of the deviants have big X for eyes and very toothy D for mouths - demonic characters for sure!!

And the Scion pickup has been done on an xB ,OpenDeck in Japan (JDM)

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...=asc&highlight

Wow, do I hear pre-order group buy? I loved the fuse concept and if they made the XP I would buy it in a heart beat!

WOW. I really, really like that concept.

I think Scion would capture both the tuner crowd AND the mini-truck crowd with the xP.
