As I've noted in other threads earlier this week, the Los Angeles Auto Show has become a place for not only for "green" automobiles, but sport cars too. The reality is that the automotive market has been experiencing a schism for several years.

Yes, we want fuel efficient and alternative energy options, BUT, there's still a huge desire for the most sporting and race-inspired products. There's a reason why cars like the 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat are being built.

Now we're seeing Scion teasing us with not one but TWO images of an all-new concept destined for the SoCal show. Although the teaser shots don't show us a tremendous amount of the vehicle, it's clear it has sporting intentions.

Check out that large diameter wheel and tire set up. Note the perforated brake rotors and lowered stance?

Although we can't be certain, it appears that this vehicle's front facade bears some resemblance to the Toyota Auris that's sold abroad. Could Toyota be aiming to repackage it as a Scion and bring it to The States. It doesn't seem completely out of reach, if you ask us.


Scion's statement follows:

The iM Concept car reflects the evolution of Scion as the needs and desires of its youthful customers also evolve.
