Jalopnik
To say the Scion Hako Concept went over poorly with the Jalopnik staff would be something of an understatement. Every time we checked the front page we'd recoil in horror as the Hako scrolled past on the screen. It became the generic stake by which other cars were measured. "At least it's not the Hako" was heard more than once. Now, considering the depth of photochopping skill we see from Chrysler here on a daily basis, we're betting you guys can do better than the awkward and boxy "American vintage style" Scion touted at the New York Auto Show.
Instead of being only a contest for Photoshop whiz kids, for this one, we'll be giving bonus points to those who use the crudest software drawing package. If you send us a design using ASCII, you've got a better chance at winning than the guy using MSPaint who has a leg up on the guy using Photoshop. This is not to say the people using P-Shop can't win. Perhaps he or she uses a design completely consisting of a mosaic of kittens duplicated with the stamp tool. Be creative, be inventive, be original, and use curves, heavens knows Scion didn't. Send us your submissions via a post on this thread, or directly to myself at the address on the sidebar by Wednesday of next week. We'll cull the initial entries and let you all vote on the winner, then that lucky artist will see both of those sweet Scion hats arriving by mail for the efforts. Good luck, and may the best crappiest design win.

I'll bet that windshield would be prone to random cracking as well...
Here is my redesign:
@Triborough: Aaaah, the lazy approach, crafty.
OH oh oh oh.
YAY.
@Ben Wojdyla: On the contrary. He photochopped every single feature of the original Hako.
It does have a passing resemblance to a Caddy Eldorado Brougham, though...
welll... I will repost these two, and get started on a new one...
@Rust-MyEnemy: It's actually more like a Coupe deVille (I think), but yeah, WTG Triborough!
@Triborough: winner
What's a diorama?
who doesn't love trucks....
@Ω βгåғғ™: Very good.
Anybody know how to attach an Etch-a-Sketch to a flatbed scanner?
a few from my buddy's trio phone
Flip the roof around (like Ω βгåғғ™: did) and redo that face (which only Asimov can love) and you're done!
I think that they may have defined the exact opposite of Bruce.
@TomAnderson: Damnit! I knew, in my heart of hearts, being that the closest I've ever come to a Caddy is vacationing in Florida, that my lack of Coop Devil recog. skilz would be noted...
I should have recognised it from Risky Business.
MS Paint here....I call it Hakomino

@MarkB:
Concept Orange Car of the Year!
HummerChopped
Chrysler designers are slapping themselves
Why didn't we put the hummer top on a pt cruiser bottom?!?!?!
First one to be owned by and appear in ZZ Top videos :]
For a brief trip down memory lane: [www.zztop.com] - wait for the flash intro.
If you have a spare TT and a washing machine box, you can build your own.
eh, I give up on trying to post this right.

FOR FUCKS SAKE jALOP NEEDS TO PAY FOR EVERYTIME I'VE POSTED THIS.
VOILA!
@Ω βгåғғ™: I like that one a lot. Kind of throwback to the Dodge Deora concept from the '60s, only with suicide doors. I'd hit it.
I love this concept. This is the sort of thing Scion needs to do to step back from the brink of irrelevance.
@bigloaf: Fucking hilarious too, BTW,
@I'm so Malaise I can't taste it!!!!!!!!!11: Calm down, we were already getting the "Copy and Paste" feature we got a while back but was quickly removed(why?) so yea, just take a "chill pill"

@Simpsons-Movie-ruled: fair enough. but mayhaps it be added to the FAQs?
@Rust-MyEnemy: hard.core.
@MarkB:
Is that a Hakamino?
@OneWithNature:
You need to host it somewhere online, you can't link directly to your computer.
@MarkB:
Forward Control hakomino FTW!!
Any good reccomendations for image hosting sites?
i suck at photoshop anyway.
