Scion Hako Coupe concept
March 21, 2008 by Alborz Fallah
Toyota’s niche U.S. manufacturer, Scion, has come out with what can potentially be called, the world’s ugliest – ever- concept car. Say hello to the Scion Hako Coupe concept.
Taking its inspiration from the Scion xB, which is a bad place to start, the Hako Coupe is supposedly a play on the growing interest in vintage American styles in Japan.
Scion has put Japanese design into American vintage style and, well, it has created a monster.
The high roof is connected to a flat windscreen, which according to the company is “ready to attack the road”, what that actually means is beyond us. Perhaps after the attack the car might look better?
Then there is the trapezoidal LED headlights and taillights which look like they were designed by a mad man. At least we like the deep 18-inch wheels.
We also like the massive panoramic glass roof that lights up the interior with natural light. The rest of the interior is an attempt to blend orange and black in every way imaginable.
The gear shifter is a joytstick and there is a big engine start button on the steering wheel. The entertainment system is out of pimp-my-ride with two dash-mounted video screens with Bluetooth connectivity to upload music and videos.
But it gets better, there is a monitor on each door which, wait for it, display images from cameras set below the A-pillar. After the car has stopped, the images can be downloaded to a PC to form a pictorial album of the journey!
Thankfully, Scion has no plans to turn this concept into a production model.

Gee TP and Dingo – Maybe as you both come out of the closet and love Toyota’s soooooooooooooooooo much, maybe you should (LMAO) go on “It Takes Two”. Maybe you can canoodle and yoodle “Oh What A feeling…”
Are we allowed to like both the Mondeo and this thig without being called gay…..or somthing bad???? cos i do!!!
Yes, you can, Carl. It looks like they’re not coming back.
BOOO….lol
Fairdinkum – you clowns are just killing me but then again it doesn’t change the fact that MIGHTY TOYOTA is kicking the stuffings out of those two gay American pretend car makers … oooch !!
OH WHAT A FEELING … TOYOTA
ps – what colour hanky do you princesses want, pink or purple ??
A red one that goes with your neck.
Sorry Golf … was that pink or purple. I’ll even wash it in Fluffy so you can wipe your sniffling nose in softness.
Is that the best you can do? Are you serious?
My absolute bestest …
pink or purple / cuddly or fluffy !!
OH WHAT A FEELING … TOYOTA !!
Oh, you’ve talked me into it! I’ll play!
I see the hanky code is well and truly alive on your mine site up there. I guess something has to be on those lonely, loveless, drug-addled nights after the mess hall shuts down. I guess it’s a bit like prison, isn’t it Dingo? There’s always your buddies to lend a “helping hand”.
I’ll have…..a RED ONE! I don’t know what red means, but I’m sure it complements the yellow one you’ve got flagged from your left hip pocket. I’m building a picture of a red-necked piss junkie in my mind right now, and it’s not a pretty one. Even more frightening is the brown one you’ve got hanging from your other pocket. Frightening, but becoming.
It’s the sort of heavy duty scene that mixes well with the speed you’re on. Funnily, Sydney and San Francisco dispensed with the hanky code thirty years ago, but it doesn’t surprise me that you and your buddies are just catching on.
Drink up, boys!
My eyes!!!!! Aaaagh
WOW … that was brilliant
But – i still missed it … pink or purple / cuddly or fluffy !!
OH WHAT A FEELING … TOYOTA
Thanks! I thought it was quite witty :)
Fancy a shag TP you little sphincter raider.
What about you Dingo you big lovely oiled brute. Fancy a fist ot two.
This scion is way ahead of what people really want. Thank the gaylord its only a concept.
A fist or two? You’d only touch the sides with three! he’s on serious drugs up there :)
Golf,
nothing funny about it mate.
the hanky is what hangs out his pocket when he walks around the prison yard making the youngest and weakest prisoner hold on to it. and every time a new young one walks in he licks his lips.
Dingo’s new name is “Tea bag”
GaylordMondeoDriver … love to because only a man knows what a man wants.
OH no…………………..yuk puk vomit spit spit vomit!
Spit cough splutter puk………….aaargh spit!
Dingo,
mate you can even set up your own little corner in the forum if you want.
just because i can see the wrongs with all your preferences, doesnt mean i cant respect your beliefs and walk away
Swallow, swallow, swallow, gobble, gobble, gobble, gargle, gargle, gargle.
Andrew – this site is my forum !!
It’s a very nice looking car.
The interior needs a more conventional look though, and those LCDs look tacky and need to go.
Too bad it wont ever be put into production and even if it were it proabalby wouldn’t make it to Oz.
If it were priced just below the corolla I’d totally get one.
I think it is great, when the XB’s came out everyone thought they were ugly also but now they are very popular, I will buy one of these cars it is fun to have an unusual car.
