Scion Officially Debuts iM Concept, and She’s Spectacular
It seemed that over the last few weeks leading up to the LA Auto Show, we’ve been subjected to a countless number of teaser images. Unfortunately, they weren’t even real teasers, most were just fragments of a teaser, such as how Scion released the heavily cropped picture for the iM.
Now however, with LA a few days away, everyone is dropping full images like it’s going out of style, including the new Scion iM. Ain’t she a beauty?
The concept, which is obviously the rebadged Auris sedan we’ve been saying all along, actually looks quite good. Scion and Toyota have definitely made it far more aggressive than it’s Toyota counterpart from Europe. There’s deep vents, big wheels, and a very subtle fender flare that looks dynamite with the rest of the car.
Additionally, the car comes with some trick headlights, fog lights, and beefed up brakes. Unfortunately, those will not likely see production, which is a shame because they really make the car great looking.
Personally, I’d like to see this concept as a production car as is. It’s a step in the right direction for both Toyota and Scion. The company has needed a shot of aggression in it for the longest time, and the FR-S can’t hold up the mantle all by itself.
We’ll have more details about the iM Concept when it officially debuts next week so stay tuned.
