Toyota has always said that Scion cars are for the youth, and the youth generally like modifying their cars. So Scion’s designs have always been designed to be very modder friendly, like a piece of blank canvas that anyone can transform into a customised work of art. Scion wanted to demonstrate this “feature” of the Scion xD‘s design concept with a sample customisation – and this is Scion’s customised Scion xD Concept.
Basically, more of an aesthetic modification – custom bodykit, huge 19 inch wheels, and a lowered ride height. No changes to the engine bay – a supercharger would have been very welcome. 128 horsepower from the new Dual VVT-i 1.8 litre isn’t a whole lot, as competitor Honda’s R18 SOHC makes 140 horses.

Nice looking car
Wonder will it comes to out shore,maybe under Perodua badge?
cool… 19" on a scion xD
da front bumper looks like a toyota passo bumper….maybe toyota can agree to bring the scion to our shores.dont ya all agree?! cool 19"s ….but might be too large for the engine,fuel consumption will be high,but if you put in a supercharger….great!!!
scion is another Toyota controlled car manufacturer? is it?
well. well. well. thats explain why it is so similar to the existing 'hot-hatchback' Myvi…
Scion is exclusively only for the US market. It's designed to be a niche market brand, therefore there's no way Scion cars are coming our way.
Damn fugly……….but as usual, nobody dares to say it coz its a Toyota……..$#$#$#%#………..
nice alloy
nice nice nice!!! i do hope myvi can have as nice as this bodykit too… though the displacement is different… but this bk design really fits onto a myvi!
To hameed koyakuti:
Dude, who said nobody dares to say it's fugly? I do here! LOL Toyota cars SUCKS!
Woooh, looks more like the Myvi this way, but better and sportier, nice six spokes too.

Nice! I never thought that i like that boxy shape and that 19" wheels..
not bad good job…..scion
Sport Myvi look….
The new myvi sport front will look just like that when its released on 9th March 2007 (if not mistaken).
sporty looks but its engine fails, 128hp….. have to be more for an outgoing model!
19" does improves the looks… but only a little bit though…
did u look at the size of the brakes? stock brake sys i suppose…
stock brake sys……… i dun think its very efficient to stop 19" wheels……
concept car aso at least upgrade d rotors+calipers la……looks soo small n tiny….
Yeah Mayonaise, high 5……….!!!!
