Scion IM will be produced

Post by cptnsolo77 »

This looks really sharp ! I hope the production IM looks as good ! I Its based on the Auris. So we finally have a compact toyota wagon back in the US. Notice how the triangular window behind the rear door resembles the 1st gen Vibe 8-)

That is a sharp looking car. My only complaint is the upper grille being just a tad too Toyota.

I love the IM, but I'm banking on an Auris with new plastic. Not even nearly what the concept looks like. I checked the rear arm angles (IRS, woot!) and they were beyond flat, so expect not quite Vibe ride height, but close to it. Still though, I'd love it even if we get the boring EDM version.

Maybe it's just me, but the rear of the Scion is ugly as hell.

Really not a fan of the overstyled bumpers on the concept car. The brown one looks better up front.

And somewhere out there, an Elantra GT is missing its behind. :lol:

I rather like the wagon version of this - too bad it will never make it here...

There's also a hybrid version, but I'd say there's better chance of getting the wagon than the hybrid version.

Also, those bottom corners of the bumper are little winglets, and the openings go right to the tire.
