New York, New York - Scion has unveiled its Hako Coupe Concept vehicle at the New York Auto Show. Scion is a Toyota brand sold in the U.S. but not in Canada.
The Hako Coupe was developed by Tokyo Design Division, which studied global, youth-inspired trends and blended Japanese and American youth cultures; the design was inspired by the Scion xB and the emergence of American vintage style among young Tokyo trendsetters.
"Scion's Hako Coupe Concept embodies a distinct global perspective on today's youth," said Scion vice president Jack Hollis. "This type of forward thinking complements the Scion philosophy of intently listening to our customers and being willing to take risks to help us see where our brand should be. We took the xB's iconic boxy shape and explored something more vivacious, yet just as emotionally appealing. This concept is the sporty version of a box."
Tokyo Design developed the Hako Coupe with classic American coupes in mind, including trapezoidal headlights, rectangular upper grille, round fog lights and integrated turn signals.
