Toyota surprised us big time last month by reviving the Scion name as a turbo hybrid UTV concept with over 300 horsepower.

We’ve been hearing that non-cars (things like trikes, UTVs, and other toy vehicles that can side-step automotive regulations) may be the future of lower-priced enthusiast vehicles. Today’s intel from Toyota lends even more credence to that idea.
