I also hope that this is not the vehicle, but all indications point to it. I can’t see them making a 4 door sedan because that would take away from Corolla sales, I doubt it could be a pickup because that would take away from Tacoma sales, but I would really like to see what Scion would do with a truck, might be cool. This strange and I think ugly contraption seems like their only choice unless scion is willing to take away market share from already existing Toyota models.

" see you have a tC... you do know that the CCX was the original tC concept do you not?
Once again people talking out thier hats."
Yes I know Scion floated the CCX around and was saying it was going to be the TC, and during that whole time they had the TC as we know it today and were testing it. Scion has been hinting for a while that they would be coming out with a car/truck thingy. Well guess what, the CCX is a car/truck thingy. Another person had a post where they were in a Scion focus group and Toyota engineers were asking them how they would like a car/truck thingy, sounds suspicious to me. I can’t see them really coming out with anything else because everything else is all ready out between the Scion and Toyota line up. I personally don’t like the CCX and hope that it is not the next model but I am fairly sure it will be some sort of truck/car thing, hopefully better looking then the CCX.

I think an "El Camino-esque" car would rock but I don't design carrs.

If you had taken the time to actually check out the CCX before writing your post you would have noticed that the rear glass moves forward, like in the GMC Envoy, creating a “pickup like space” in the rear of the vehicle. Call it what you like but I think it is a car/pickup thingy. No body will know for sure until the DL comes out, hummmm, well no one except the people that work at Toyota. I too think a El Camino-esque car could look cool judging on what Scion has put out already.

One big sliding door makes way more sense and its unique. A sliding door isn't going to tink and twang when you shut it with a micron too much force like the back xB doors do, you can get out of a car in a super tight spot without hitting your door on anything. It's brilliant.
Have you guys seen the inside of the Porte, before you knocked it?
Way nicer and more modern than xB and the rear seats are just as huge and even easier to get in and out of.
I'd trade my xB for a Porte in a second.

Just go take a LOOK at Current Model AZN cars in Singapore and Japan , I dont know the names but there are a couple of them that LOOK very Porte-ish NOW. For now I really like the BOX-Yness of the xB . Its Slightly ODD , like ME 
The xB size is Good for me , I was next to an Excursion and could Not believe HOW SMALL the box is, I like it.

The grill is in the front, between the lights.
The porte is a 2 door hatch back.
The passenger side door is a power sliding door and it can be opened by remote.
The porte is the same size as the xb on the outside, but way way roomier on the inside.
