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

What do you think?

Looks ok, but you have a small market for a single seater! Keep Scion low priced and it will do very nicely.

I would buy as second car in a heartbeat :rockon:

 

[eviljack]

I would rock that in a heartbeat

It's an El Camino...

Looking at this again, I realized that the actual production xP would likely have a taller cab, longer bed and come w/ much smaller wheels, all of which would seriously alter its appearance...

 

[rhombus]

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!

 

[undesired_efx]

As many times as this has been discussed on ystC I still think it would be a neat endeavor for Scion. Albeit they would have to make it quite a bit more practical. I could see the tuner/slammed mini-truck enthusiasts going nutso over this thing!

 

[TheKevin]

IMO, i think its terrible.

 

[coastarippa]

I like it but it kinda looks a little like the ridgeline. I think they should flair out the fenders to give it a little more style.

 

[eviljack]

I was told this concept was turned into the ABAT truck that will be avaliable from Toyota

 

[Geezer]

It's a typical Mark Stehrenberger concept...giant wheels, 20 series tires, lot's of flash and any resemblance to the real world is strictly coincidental. But he sure draws pretty car pictures.

It's an El Camino...

that is what i was thinking! i owned an El Camino years ago and it was fast!!

it looks like Scion's version of an El Camino - if that had the 2.4l engine, it would be pretty quick too!

 

[MidlifeCrisis]

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.

 

[Geezer]

Not bad. It's a lot more realistic than the xP concept. I might even consider trading in my '96 Nissan pickup for something like that.

DAMMMMM IT!!!!!

if it was out now, I would buy it right now!!!
Then slap some rims on it, tint out the windows, headlightss, and tail lights, and upgrade the sound system!!! Hell yeah!!!!! I've been wanting to get a truck!

 

[eviljack]

I feel ya man. I would drop my xB in a heart beat for that thing. Especially in that color.

 

[MidlifeCrisis]

Or maybe someone could do this with the one they have?

 

[TartanJack]

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).
