Detroit Auto Show Preview: Toyota A-BAT Concept

Doesn't this kinda look like the scion xP concept? (xP is "pickup")



PickupTruck.Com: Future Truck - 2010 Scion xP

 

horribly ugly!!! reminds me of that hideous subaru truck/car. the new ones, not the brat.

 

It looks ok, im not to high on it though. It does remind me of that truck/car thing that subie made.

If you check the actual A-BAT, it looks like a Ridgeline...

 

YouTube - Toyota's A-BAT Compact Pickup Concept

Here is a video with a LOT of information. I missed an important detail, which is this guy is a hybrid.

 

thanks for this, because otherwise we would have had a thread titled 'a-bat' but everyone would discuss the scion.

but yes, the A-BAT looks like what the Ridgeline would look like in a generation or two. Probably wouldnt mind this if toyota hadn't gone on and on about how original it looks and how they looked to the Prius of all things to give it a 'unique' (cough-thanks honda-cough) truck desgin.

its 'supossed' to be hybrid, but there is probably nothing under the hood as of yet.


and yes, the scion does look like the old Subaru Baja. And it will be funny to see how many scionites who otherwise probably would have hated the subie's looks, will buy this car.:rolleyes:

 

if they have the concept car over at the sd international auto show...ill check it out and tell yall how it looks in person. i hope its a v6 at least....utilizing the same motor as the x-runner :) heh. that would be a bonus. i want a truck, the trucks in japan are way badass compared to over here.
