Toyota To Resurrect RSC Concept To Counter The Nissan Juke

Toyota bosses are considering building a rival for the Nissan Juke, using a decade-old concept as inspiration. The Toyota RSC — Rugged Sports Coupé — was designed by Toyota’s California-based CALTY design studio and made its debut at the 2001 Chicago motor show.

Although nothing came of the RSC, Autocar understands that it has recently been reassessed, mainly because of the global success of the Nissan Juke, which is remarkably similar in concept to the RSC.

From that photo, it looks like we all know where the styling of Toyota's SUVs derived.

With all of that bolt on plastic, you have to wonder if the designer was a Pontiac refugee.
