Postal Service Scion Hako Takes Top Honors
Congratulations to reader and USPS aficionado suzq044, for the commentariat have dubbed you the winner of the Scion Hako Redesign competition. We were pulling for the Hakominos and earlier the paper-and-tape Rothified Hako, but saying so may have steered voting so we decided not to. We have to say the entries were most impressive, ranging from incredible technical prowess to displays of absolute comic genius. To claim your prize suzq044, send an email to me and we'll get those sweet, sweet Scion hats in the mail tout de suite. Thanks to all who entered and hopefully Toyota got the clue that we were none too thrilled with their latest box on wheels. -

Choose The Winner Of The Scion Hako Redesign Contest
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.

Scion Hako Redesign Contest, Let The Battle Begin
We tried, we really did. We just couldn't cut the entries from the Scion Hako Redesign Contest down enough to make this voting process even mildly manageable. We apologize if your entry got left on the cutting room floor, but we were inundated with chops that ran the scale from amazing to amazingly awesomely bad. What we're left with is a set of forty of the best, worst, and most amusing redesigns for the fug-nasty Scion Hako. Since there are so many entries, we're going to let you narrow things down a bit. To keep things fair we stripped the names off and we're not going to name names on this round, just so some of you more popular hooligans don't win by sheer wit. Browse through the gallery and pick out your favorite, make a note of the number above the image and vote away. We'll take the top 5 vote-getters and have a vote-off tomorrow afternoon then send the winner some rad hats.

Redesign The Scion Hako Concept - Win Some Scion Hats
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 seefrom Chryslerhere 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.

Scion Hako Coupe Concept Live Unveil
Scion is known for trying to be hip with the kids, but I have a feeling its latest concept, the Hako, is a couple steps too far, even for the spikey haired, angsty kids of America. Hako means box and this is very boxy, even more boxy than the xB. If you remember, Scion originally teased the Hako Coupe concept two weeks ago, but here she is in all of her ugly glory. Original speculation suggested that this could take the place of the xA, but something tells me that wouldn't fly too well.

Scion Haku Spied Before Press Conference
It was like a scene from The Sting, with yours truly and Robert Farago of The Truth About Cars as the fast talking, quick thinking con men (we'll let you decide who is Newman and who is Redford). The Scion press room was surrounded with security but the awkward prize, the new Scion Hako (aka Scion tC replacement), was waiting within. Farago deftly distracts the first guard with the old "Excuse me ma'am but have you seen my puppy" trick while I used my mistakingly printed manufacturer's pass to sneak past the second one. We were able to get on stage and snap a few pics before a security official put his chest into my camera. More coming soon.

Scion Hako Concept, Replacement For TC Coupe To Drop In New York
Scion just released this teaser image of the Hako Coupe Concept, which will debut at the New York Auto Show later this month. It's expected that the Hako will represent a near-production version of 2006's Fuse concept and could replace the TC coupe. Judging by the picture, Scion are looking to bring their coupe styling more in line with their popular XB hatchback. The press release follows the jump. More »
