I love my Scion xB, despite all the "OMGIT'SABOXLOLOLOL" complaints. My year model has the newer shape, so it's not as boxy as the older model ones. That being said, I saw this other car.
Personally, I think it looks bad ass, like an older model coupe. A bit more boxy than I like, but the design makes it not so much of a box. Scion Hako, mmmmm.

Re: For the car geeks
I've never been much for Scion. But I must say that's interesting. Would definitely catch my eye. lol.
There new Scion FR-S is pretty cool, even though Subaru, and Toyota are releasing an almost identical car.
Not bad, but it has nothing on my 1992 Honda Accord
I would probably even take the 92 accord over the current and last two or three gen XBs..I miss the old school box car not thing curved rectangle thing and with all the instruments in front of the driver..not in the F*CKING middle.

they have the same car cause they teamed up to produce this car. It is supposed to be like the new up and coming supra wannabe, (so my friend tells me. He worked at the Subaru dealership as a mechanic.)
Meh its less of a team up and more like subaru made everything and scion changed things for their RWD model. (for the fr-s and brz) Also boo for cars w.o power, which is mostly what type of cars scion produces/most cars companies produce. Also that's a nifty looking scion but meh its probably like 140HP, and that ain't my type o car.

Pfft, nothing on a supra. This things cool looking, but it's only got like 200hp. I guess that's what you get for $23k though.

Dude, with gaz prices, powerful cars are left in their parking lots nowadays. Seriously, people are starting to think about convenience. I don't like this car, but I don't see how useful a super powerful car would be against this outside a race track. Unless you're really rich and want to have fun, I don't see the point in looking for a powerful car imo, but I know some people like feeling a good handling and stuff so I understand both points.

Well there are some powerful cars that have decent mileage. Like my favorite car. BMW M6 F13 Coupe. I think it's like 565 RWHP twin turbo V8. But it still gets 25 mpg(which is better than an 8-12 mpg Lambo, and also faster.) But if you want that car it will cost some bucks. $120k or so.

Re: For the car geeks
Never said it was brilliant. You said powerful cars don't get good gas mileage. Just pointing out the fact that some do. I don't see any part of my comment that stated I would buy that car for the gas savings. If I had the money for that car, gas would be the absolute least of my worries. People worry to much about gas mileage anyways. If ya want to save money, stop buying useless shit you don't need.
