[NFS4]

:Q Could that car be any less aerodynamic? Do they have any other models in their Scion line?

<== monkey dance

 

[Dragnov]

Kinda looks like the old Dodge Caravans.

 

[ElFenix]

you know... vans were popular amongst youth back in the late 60s and 70s...

Their other model looks quite good though IMHO:

Scion Ist

Reminds me of a Puegot.

It would make a good shaggin' wagon.

that much wheel looks stupid on that car.

btw, the car is pronounced "east" like a bad mispronunciation of "artist" (which is the word they actually got the syllable from... and you wonder where stereotypes come from)

The CCX isn't as bad as the BBX...still wouldn't get it though...unless it was so incredibly cheap I couldn't pass it up...

No wait...still don't think I would..

 

[Maleficus]

quite possibly the ugliest car i have ever seen

 

[Lithium381]

the "ist" dosen't look that bad, but they put the steering wheel on the wrong side

Wow - really nice (except fro the center mounted instrument panel)

 

[b0mbrman]

Meh...I guess...but I'd rather buy a Scion rather than a Kia as a second car...a couple years down the road I suppose...

sad bit was toyota was improving the looks of their line quite well.... and now they have these icky things ahhh!!!

 

[AvesPKS]

The first one looks like a pimped out VW Eurovan on crack. The second one looks like the unholy union between a Civic hatchback and a ZX3. Blech.

And what's the deal with all this stuff about descendant? "Formation of genesis"? They make frigging cars...That's another trend I find annoying in business today...delusions of grandeur.

 

[bolido2000]

Those are some ugly cars. It looks too much like a Honda Element .

 

[Nemesis77]

What the hell is that thing? A box on wheels?

You mean Peugeot? How come?

Peugeot 307

Peugeot 406

Peugeot 406 Coupe

Peugeot 607

I'd say that your average Peugeot looks alot better than Scions.

Hopefully for Toyota it looks better in real life. But didn't GM do the same thing to finance the Saturn dealerships?

 

[SuperTool]

It's not gonna fly. This is America. Gas is cheap, life is good. This car screams econobox.

"For some time, Toyota's genesis group has been carefully listening to, and studying ways, to connect with the net-generation reaching driving age and entering the car market," said Jim Press, TMS executive vice president and COO.

For a moment, I thought I read the word "genius" - then realized it was genesis. Man, that vehicle is ugly. The picture link provided by MadRat shows the vehicle equipped with amps and subwoofers. Great, now, we're going to have a bunch of ugly cars driving around the neighborhoods all thumpin' - ugh!

What's the difference between this Scion thing and a Matrix???? I don't see much difference.
