I'd be damn tempted just based on the looks and RWD

oh yeah, with the little boxer engine, rear wheel drive and damn sex appeal, id be tempted

 

if the build quality was there, i'd be tempted.

 

I had to change my underwear

 

It's everything Kabura could and should have been .

Paul.

 

Subaru boxer in a RWD coupe? Its like an RX-8 with POWAHH...

So yeah, I'm sold.

 

I'd still prefer it with a Toyota badge, but if it were to come out looking real close to that, I may have to reconsider. I would just hope they price it high enough to keep the normal 20-something Scion crowd away.

 

100% sad, but true.

 

this^

 

consider this car a future consideration

 

Even the tires are made by Scion! This might be dangerous!

 

I just pray to God they don't butcher the production version like Mitsubishi did with the Eclipse. Keep the Scion as close to that as possible.

 

If you think about it, it could also be what the 8 should have been, depending on weight and how the boxer engine is tuned.

 

it's just a concept. it'll be watered down. remember, this is going for the scion crowd, the 2fast2stupid crowd, with limited budgets so cuts will be made to be affordable.

 

Obviously some things will have to be changed for production, but so far, I'd be tempted to say I want a scion for the first time.

I hope the rear "scion" logo is toned down... I would actually spend the money to buy an unbranded trunk lid if it looked like that. That's my biggest critique at this point. I'd love to have those 18" brakes... if the car turns out as light as past rumors have described, that would be some serious stopping power.

 

word

 

If it looked just like that and lived up to the power and weight rumors yes.

No most likely because of what the production version will turn out to be. Rumors abound about it being squared up to fit into the scion line better. Also, it's a scion. It's interior and build quality will likely be subpar for it's price range. I just imagine it being a huge letdown.

 

Nope.

 

Keep in mind the base boxer engine mentioned in the article only has 170 HP. I wouldn't get your hopes up. If they are set on keeping the car priced for the current Scion ricer crowd, it is sure to be pathetic in the performance department. All show and no go. Subaru is more likely to have the big boy version of the car. Gotta admit it does look badass though.

 

Meh, I'm not feeling it just because I know the real version will be lame.

 

Scion? nope.

I don't care if the quality is superior (for the price) I simply won't get it because of that 10 bux "Scion" badge they got on the Front and back and steering wheel and wherever it will be.

a Subbie. maybe.

 

^^ what he said

 

as much as i love this concept and as much as i'd like to play devils advocate

no i wouldnt buy it with the scion badge lol

 

I agree with the badging issues, but only to the extent that I would have to de-badge it if I ended up getting one. If the performance and quality of the car are good enough, I can deal with having to do something about the badging.

 

What's up with scion, damn!
