SCION iM Concept
 
is this basically a flashy toyota auris?



toehook 11-28-2014 12:39 AM

Yeah, it looks exactly like the Auris but with a giant body kit or the new concept of the Toyota Matrix.

mos_skeeto 11-28-2014 10:11 AM

This is the replacement for the Matrix. It'll probably come out with a boring body kit and normal wheels so I'm not going to get excited.

Godzira 11-28-2014 10:20 AM

all new cars look the same now :suspicious:

Timpo 11-30-2014 11:06 AM

Yawn.

Am I the only one who thinks it looks pretty snazzy for what it is?

twitchyzero 11-30-2014 04:48 PM

yep even without the body kit...that paint looks very appetizing
i'm always jealous at Asia/Australia exclusive Toyotas so it's nice this is coming...better looking than the new fit that's for sure

Height adjustable suspension on a stock car? Wow.

Bump: The production version was released, and it's toned down to the point of being ugly. No need to quote the link because we all know it's the Corolla underpinnings, so 1.8L 4-banger, with CVT or 6-speed for ~23k CAD.

Matrix replacement.

As an employee of Toyota I really have to say there selection under the Toyota brand is just crap. They have 0 fun to drive cars and they are all starting to look the same.
The Scion brand is about the same with the FRS and TC being the only two models that retain the fun to drive appeal.
Lexus on the other hand has a number of more fun to drive cars but there price point its out of reach for many.

Would have been nice to see the Celica continued on rather than replaced by the somewhat bland TC.

They're also releasing a 4 door sedan soon that's built by Mazda's Mazda 2 plant. At least it will be light and nimble!

Akinari 03-31-2015 09:07 PM

That is the most depressing front end design I've ever seen on any car, period. Looks like some kind of angry sad depressed looking thing :okay:

Looks like Toyota took the concept iM and stuck it in a panini grill and out came this production version with its flattened front end.

They should've kept the original Auris front end design. Hell even the Corolla looks more aggressive than this thing.

Teriyaki 03-31-2015 11:14 PM

I'm glad they're finally bringing the auris over, it's what our matrix should have been from the get go. However, kind of bittersweet they had to differentiate it for the sake of differentiation. Keep it the way it was, sell it at corolla prices and no reason it wouldn't sell like hotcakes like it already does in other parts of the world.

nabs 03-31-2015 11:47 PM

goddamit, why can't they just keep the concept design. Concept looks freaking amazing, the real shit looks like exactly that, shit.

Manic! 04-01-2015 01:40 AM

How the fk are those 2 cars even related?

thumper 04-01-2015 07:15 AM

ugh it gets worse... is this the 4 door someone mentioned above?


svelt 04-01-2015 07:56 AM

Massive disappointment. They should at least release a version with that exact kit out there...Scion's version of the F sport (Release Series as far as i recall)

The_AK 04-01-2015 08:15 AM

wow that 4 door is ugly!

Nabatron 04-01-2015 09:01 AM

the concept was a hot looking car I would have to say....the production car looks like fucking garbage!

mos_skeeto 04-01-2015 09:21 AM

For the 4door, It's stupid how they kept the back looking like a mazda and mucked up the front
