Well, it being vinyl does lower it's class down for me. but I still think it's an interesting art work. practicality? No. Would it appeal to the type of people who go to car shows? Not usually.

 

as a matter of fact, I saw that car at the roll in yesterday at HID.. and I was laughing.

 

and I was right behind the z90 booth. =P

 

saw it at Scion Exposed, Daytona.
even though some dont like it, give credit for the work...you know you couldnt do it.

if you could...get offline.

 

 

personally i like it... not for daily driving.... but as a strict show car i like it alot... its original and its driving scions point of being able to make this car as custom as you want.

its more of a marketing tool. it draws in the graphic dev. crowd... the young graphiti artists... the market scion wants... the young cool hip crowd. id rather it be paint, but still all that vinyl isnt easy to do. the wheels are ugly, id like to see a set of custom cut wheels for the project but that takes more money then the marketing dept would probably have.

 

I saw this car at the Scion Expo in Houston, TX (boy it gets around). If I can remember correctly I don't think that all of that is vinyl...I remember checking but I am not sure...

I LOVE the Originality of this car...Extremely eye-catching!!

 

I didn't touch it but I heard that it's all paint. And though I don't like it the work that went into it is very amirable. Yes the interior is the same way. If you met the owner then you could understand why this happened to this car (Haze was the tall white guy at the Scion booth). I think it is JUST a show car though cause I saw it being loaded onto the truck withth e xB and the xA, both of which were nice but they wouldn't let me see inside so that sucked.

 

I'll drive it, if it's free.

BTW, here are more pics of the car. http://gallery.scionzone.com/gallery/album02

 

Yea that car is definitely in the most recent Scion magazine they give out at the dealers.
Most people that i have spoken to about it dont like it, but it extremely original, u gotta give it that!

 

YUCK

 

The desription from scionzone.com

"The vehicle that seemed to produce the strongest reaction amongst online forums visitors on the Internet was the Scion tC designed by Eric Haze. Eric has done quite a few significant design projects. The tC was painted pretty much in black and white, but still manages jump at you like some sort of Escher print. You know you are dealing with a designer with serious clout when the project vehicle has custom tires designed by Haze and manufactured by Yokohama. Reactions online have ranged from "Yuck!" to "its beautiful." You'll have to decide for yourself, but it's clear that it pushes some traditional concepts of what a custom paint job should look like.

Here is Scion's unofficial description of the vehicle:

Haze grew up at the beginning of the hip-hop era, on the subway line that runs from Broadway to Manhattan. The subway's influence can be seen in his constant experimentation and expression of the written word. Haze's projects include logos, album covers for artists such as the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J, limited-edition shoes for Nike, his line of streetwear and furniture.

The vehicle is definitely different. Isn't that what Scion is all about? It's the "magic" and "uniqueness" that Mr. Farley refers to. If you look at all of Scion's marketing literature, the emphasis is urban lifestyle and self expression. In that theme, this tC fits right in."

 

Interior is great and it matches with the exterior but

A for interior A for creativity D for exterior...

 

Well, I can't argue with that... but I guess my next car needs to be one made for grown-ups.

 

It's all paint. I saw it at H.I.N. in Charlotte NC this past april and it had a Boyd Coddington plate on the back so I'm guessing thats who painted it.

 

It IS paint, well then I like it still, it was only when it was vinyls that I didn't.

 

I saw this car at JGTC last year. Extremely hideous IMO, I wouldn't be caught dead in it but as stated before for a show car/marketing tool it stands out and is creative. Except for the wheels, they blow no matter how you slice it.
