Scion’s Hako Coupe was developed by Tokyo Design Division, which studied global, youth-inspired trends.

Japanese and American youth cultures often influence each other and are interpreted with a unique twist. The Hako Coupe Concept was inspired by the iconic xB and the emergence of American vintage style among young Tokyo trendsetters. “Scion’s Hako Coupe Concept embodies a distinct global perspective on today’s youth,” said Jack Hollis, Scion vice president.

“This type of forward thinking complements the Scion philosophy of intently listening to our customers and being willing to take risks to help us see where our brand should be. We took the xB’s iconic boxy shape and explored something more vivacious, yet just as emotionally appealing. This concept is the sporty version of a box.”

The car's top half has nothing to do with the lower part. I have never seen such a mismatched design on any car.

You people need to stop freaking out. It is a CONCEPT. Look at the Fuze, you know the next gen tC will be similar, but not exactly like that. I'm sure this is a concept of a future xB replacement or redesign. It's not set in stone.

the best part is that ALL the haters will be silenced AGAIN when Toyota/Scion actually builds something from this concept and it sells like hotcakes.
