^^^ i agree. the hako is like the illegitimate love-child between a box and old-school hotrod.
scion really needs to bring the brand back to basics.

I don't know. At 1st look i kinda like it. At least they are trying to get back to being different. It doesn't look like every other car out there.

its been getting some harsh reviews too:

"As with most of Scion's concepts, the Hako is a combination of form and functionality, with an emphasis on living the Scion life that the brand has fought hard to establish. As such, there's a focus on lifestyle elements that find their way inside, with storage crevices for magazines and mobile phones, flat-screen monitors and a videogame-inspired dash that would be all the rage if you were eight and it were 1992."

Roffle at the 92

Jeff and i know it was really 94

"While the Hako is technically a coupe, it's not what we were hoping for, especially considering that Scion insists that the brand has its finger on the pulse of the youth market. What do young, car-crazed youths really want? We'd suggest that it's a few stands away, sitting at the Hyundai booth in the form of the Genesis coupe."

It will be some time before they do a mini truck. They feel that the mini truck is your low-end Toyota pick-up.

But I agree with you Steve a mini truck would be the ____!!!

Haha, fo sho! That's how we rolled a long time ago, a long long time ago, in 94.

I'm kinda iffy on the concept. I really like the body style, but the top half (mainly the windshield) looks ridiculous. I have enough problems with my windshield chipping as it is!

tC windshields aren't really that great themselves.

I have so many pits and I have already had to get it repaired once.

xBs are worse by far though. GL with that one, lol.

With all the (IMO) crappy concepts/models Scion has put out, this will more than likely be my last Scion. The tC was cool while it lasted, but I don't think they will produce an extravagant replacement. The Fuse is alright, but you know it's going to be completely different when it comes out. It has to to be street legal, at least. As far as the xD and xB2, they are alright but they're not for me. Also, Scion would need to step up their game on a lot of things.....

If I were to finance another 4g, I could have a 263 hp Mazda Speed 3, whereas if I throw in 4g on a turbo for a tC, I'm not gonna get those results and it will void my warranty. (Not saying I would ever buy a Speed, lol).

But for the practicality, I am in no way unhappy that I have a tC, I will always keep it. I just think after this car is paid off it's time to step up.
