So have you all seen the new Scion cars? Pics of the bX (the boxy one) have been out for a while, but now they have pics of the new one (the aX) at auto.com. All I have to say is the new one looks like a PT Cruiser and a Matrix spent the night in a garage together, and lo and behold out popped a Scion aX nine months later (or whatever development time is for a car..2-3 years?). From the looks of the boxy bX it seems like they have the same idea as Honda with it's Element but it's not as good an execution. As for the brand Scion in general, I think Toyota is making a mistake creating a new brand. Hot products will lure younger buyers better than creating a new brand. What do you all think?

 

They are ugly!

 

Anyone else see a little of Dr. Evil's Macerena performance in Toyota's attempt at being hip/cool/trendy with a "new brand"?
