Rumored for a 2010 release, the Scion xP (for pickup):



What do you think?

There are a lot of front end similarities with the xB... the shape of the windows, the headlights, the general boxiness, the doorhandles even... I kind of like it... it would be one of those trendsetter vehicles, kind of like the xB... I mean, a lot of people still don't like the xB... I think that's what makes it appealing, it's a love it or hate it vehicle!

Prolly be something between up above and this horrible photochop (sorry, I don't have mad skilz in PS).

Something like that actually wouldn't be that bad . . .
Kinda like the bB Opendeck.

The problem would be with structural rigidity across the bed.
The structure of the xB includes the roof for torsional rigidity. If you just chop off the roof, the back told twist itself something awful (the same as a poorly made chop-top convertible/roadster).
To make that work, you would need to add stiffener structure to the lower monocoque (the part that makes up the truck bed).

The SSR is actually pretty cool.
It has Corvette underpinnings and a retro-pickup body.
My uncle has one and it drives like a current Corvette.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Hmmm, xP is cool...I would hope that Scion would allow a trailer hitch on it!

08 xB (and maybe an xP to replace my F150 Super Crew in the future!)
