Despite the mass confusion we caused when the underfed server hamsters failed to order the galleries properly, yesterday's voting saw some clear front runners emerge in our effort to redesign the ugly-stick inspired Scion Hako Concept. While we're kind of disappointed the Burberry Wert version didn't make the cut, we completely understand there's only so much Wert the commentariat can take. In any case, the final five have been selected and now it's up to you to vote for our winner. If yours is among the chosen, make sure to jump into the comment section and lobby the cause. We'll be declaring the winner on Monday, so good night, and good luck.

For what it's worth, I'm not disappointed.
Meh-again, USPS sticker and door removal=redesign? :P
Anyway, I voted 16-the most unique design (and well done at that).
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays this courageous commentator from the swift completion of his appointed vote. Go 13!
I am very sorry the crayon "I Love My Jalopnik" failed--who did that one??
But my default position is hot rod! Fourteen or fight!
And clearly, any true Chav-mobile would be white anyways.
#14 is nothing short of Dragon Bait!
Had to go 28. While I'd rather have 14, 28 is more realistic for a run at a real production vehicle. And, depending on the sales of the G8-Camino, who knows?
Plus, it's caminoized! How can that not win on Jalopnik?
Went with the USPS Hako, mainly because I'm sick of orange cars now--thanks Dodge Challenger SRT-8 and Chevy Camaro Convertible Concept--and because it looks pretty good like that.
28 all the way... but my 28's engine is right in front of those rear wheels!
I don't understand why RatFink didn't make the cut.
Hot Rod Hako. That's one of the best Photoshop restyle jobs I've ever seen, how I could I not vote for it?
Waaa I got cut.
Waaa I need to feel validated.
Waaa I'm so emo it hurts.
Waaa why don't you love me?
Waaa. Waaa. Waaa
I like numba 14.
Big props to the PS-Wiz who made it.
(By "PS-Wiz, i meant "Photo-Shop Wizard, not "Piss Whiz".
Dirty Minds. . .
Hey, I wish Jalop had used my larger file size image I was finally able to post on the original Hako re-design post. Anyway... Go #39.
If it weren't for the el camino, this car would be a well polished turd...oh wait nevermind, making it an el camino did nothing.
It might just be me, but the "Impressive MSPaint-Camino Hako 16" looks like it has some strong 7 influence. How could I vote against a JFG honorary member?
@Novaload: Personally I thought mine awas pretty genius at being what was supposed to be the WORST redesign of the Hako meaning making something crappy lookin more crappy but I digress...BTW it was MS Paint witht he spraycan tool used to make it look like crayon..pretty neat huh? If this was gonna be a photoshop dealie bob I should have gone with that instead DOH!!!!
I mean WAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
BTW 14 is pretty good if that is what we are shootin fer
Wasn't it supposed to be the worst redesigns?
I want those MS Paint / Etch A Sketch redesigns replace all of these entries.
Scion is re-writing history now, these are evoking a feeling of hot rod / rat rod past, and in 50+ years THESE will be bringing high dollar at auctions.
So buy one, raise it on jack stands, and build a shed on top.
I have no clue what the hell Hako 16 is but I want it! Is it a really long nosed hot rod or a suicide door aircraft tow vehicle?
All I know is that I have a sudden urge for an Orange Julius.
#14 it's turdalicious. Mad props to graverobber for the adjective.
I vote for the USPS hako, but bonus points to #14 for the orange striped tires and TURD stcker my Father used to work for TURD but they kicked him out because they thought a coked up 17 year old could do a better job.
The aforementioned 17 year old put so much negative camber on the scion tc test car that it lost control and spun into the bushes, this was blamed on my father.
god it is just hideous .. just bad.. i am talking about the original
I like the hot rod and mail van Hako's. Far better then the ugly son of a biotch Toyota whipped up.
Sorry, but there is a xB mail van on the show circuit, so not too origional. Roll 14, roll!
What the hell, the Post Office version is winning? It should be #14.... Though@Cameron Thirteen: makes a great point.... enough with the Orange!
I apologize if this is a repeat, but comments continue to be screwed up. As I wrote earlier,I vote for the rod. I'm petty sure I see Burberry upholstery through those windows. Sort of a "Highlander" effect. (Anyone on this site old enough to know what that refers to?)
Fourteen For-eva!
Ahhhhhh, 14. Allllll the way.
@Eldorado: There can be only one. Heh (probably not the Highlander you had in mind). They were all an improvement, even (specifically?) the ASCII ones. But I got to go with 14.
You facists RAT FINKS. Why can't we vote on them ALL? Rat Fink is the Ron Paul of this process.
@SpeedWagon: are you secretly porschephile?
"Deutschland 4eva" is still annoyingly burned on my eyeballs.
No more Hako. Kill it with fire.
@GoingLikeSixty:
Ratfinks live in secret burrows under the dry lake beds and salt flats. They are NOT facists, just strong willed.
@UDMan: Forget you man!..And someone forward #13 to the Postal Service, stat!
@TurboBrick: ditto
@OneWithNature: Did you receive a letter in the mail about my presence in your neighborhood??? I swear I'm only a level 1 offender!
I like 16. reminds me of the old a-100's, econolines and greenbriars with just a hint of late 30's COE.
I vote 13 for future super maximum postal lovin' truck of choice!
.. can i vote for myself?
LOL, on the hvtm.hu we have a Scion Hako contest too (for our beginner virtualtuners).
check the images here: [hvtm.hu]
Got to give 16 love. He switched which end is the front. Made new doors (of the varietal suicide). With MS paint.
Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night can make the Hako look good. Make it the new two box delivery vehicle that way it will sell to someone.
I don't really care who wins, but I'd like to say great job by everyone...some really creative people post here.
although I couldn't vote (what gives? got an error) I WOULD have voted for #16 (the Forward Control/Transporter version) with #14(the Rod) coming in a close second.
#16 FTW cuz man, I love those FC trucks of yore. And if it had the option for a full van version, that would make me a happy leprachaun.
#14 is, I think, what they were TRYING to do. they missed.
Scion, are you listening now???
As the creator of #28 I thought I took the easy way out by sticking the g8 El Camino Sport Truck Holden Ute roof and bed, on the top of the Hako.
I will fully admit though, If I didnt vote for myself I would vote for 14, based solely on p-shop skillz...
I made 7... and not one made it... hahaha... Though I must say, i am happy my Burberry Wert (#2) made the image for this post.
I hacked up a hack of the Hako:
Entry #16 as a van:
probably needs roof racks.
thank you #16 artist person.
I tink numba 16 (van) is wut da mawket is missun?
Vote 28! Where's Polar? Save Polar.
@Ray Wert:
Maybe this will make you feel better?
[dealnews.com]
Puppy Hako is sad he was excluded...
I'm voting against myself to ensure I don't win any crappy Scion stuff.
