Default European Urban Cruiser....Look familier?

Toyota just released pre-show pictures for the Geneva Auto show.

Looks like the U.S. is the only market that got the ugly front end from the concept Urban Cruiser.

I like our front end, looks much more aggressive than the IST or that car. Though it does suck that the other models in other countries have fog lights!! Did they do that to us on purpose thinking we like the challenge of finding decent ones that fit? Bah!

Anywho I do like that blue color. Man I need to move to a different country for nicer cars

well with essentially the same car becoming practically worldwide, we can hope to see more aftermarket sooner. but then again, I don't feel like I'm driving a scion anymore

Why do you say you don't feel like you're driving a Scion anymore?

i kinda understand that; let me know if i'm way off base:

when scion started, the cars were shocking, hip, fresh, off the hizzy, etc etc etc. (i.e. "woah, look at that car shaped like a toaster!"). The xB was different from anything else out there. The xA offered great styling, fuel economy, and small size. The tC was (and is) a sporty, fun to drive coup...
4 or so years later, other companies have taken hold of that sub-compact niche and produced similar cars. This is causing scion to have less of a unique look when you're driving down the road, since honda, nissan, kia, suzuki...almost everyone now has some form of fuel-efficient compact.

did i nail that one or what? ;)

all that being said, i like that blue thing up there. and yes, i wish i had fog lights for my D.
