The Scion Hako Coupe Concept
The Scion Hako Coupe is a concept car unveiled by the automaker Scion at the 2008 New York International Auto Show. Scion says that this concept is based on the current xB and is called “the sporty version of a box.” I did a quick search online and I have found out that ‘Hako’ literally means a ‘cube.’ The shape of this concept really does resemble the Scion brand. It is a great idea because its unusual design will surely have a great popularization effect.
According to Jack Hollis, Scion vice president "Scion's Hako Coupe Concept embodies a distinct global perspective on today's youth,"
"The Hako Coupe features a vertical windshield. It is equipped with a flat, panorama roof that features a random, barcode-like pattern that can be seen on the exterior and from the interior. The rear bumper has an integrated fog and back up light on the left and exhaust on the right.”
The interior features a front and rear seats that are covered with urethane and rubber-like upholstery for easy cleaning. “The entertainment system consists of two video monitor screens mounted on the dash for radio, video, and music capabilities.” As for the size, Hako is 20 inches shorter than the xB.
This is going to be a very interesting but risky design for Scion. I kinda like it personally. But I wouldn’t expect everyone to feel the same specially if it will be used for daily activity. But everyone must relax because it is just a concept.
