Scion reveals iM Concept car at the Los Angeles Auto Show

Start planning that next adventure; a new ride is on its way. After revealing the iM Concept car at the Los Angeles Auto Show, Scion announced that a production version of the versatile five-door compact hatchback will be coming to dealerships in 2015. Fans will get a first look
at the road-ready, sporty ride - and another new Scion model - at the New York International Auto Show in April.

"The two models we're debuting in New York next spring are just the beginning for Scion," said Doug Murtha, Vice-President, Scion. "We plan to bring three new products in three years to our showrooms, offering a variety of exciting options for current and new Scion customers."

The iM Concept is a hatchback that earns its name from characteristics aimed at this evolving audience. The 'i' stands for individuality, intriguing and a good fit for customers' income. The 'M' stands for modern, multifaceted and magnetic. Its captivating styling and custom-blended 'Incrediblue' paint are complemented by matte silver and gunmetal accents.

The iM Concept communicates its sporty handling and racing inspiration through a wide stance and low ride height for a grounded appearance. It features front and rear bumper overhangs that create dynamic surfaces, as well as geometric grille inserts, deep air intakes and fog lights. Large 19-inch forged alloy wheels sit flush with the body while vented rotors with 4-piston front calipers work with the adjustable-height racing suspension.

Urban drivers can expect the iM Concept to meet the needs of city streets with excellent fuel efficiency, sporty handling and easy parking. Details on the production version's transmission, engine, technology and other details will be available in 2015.
