Scion has branded itself as the car manufacturer that fully supports the customization of their vehicles. It leaves no surprise the success they have had capturing the market and the ever-growing community of Scion owners nationwide. The iQ debuted in Europe last year, so it was just a matter of time to see when Toyota would bring it to the stateside and brand it as a Scion. But what's a huge winner here is the debut of the Scion iQ isn't just an ordinary iQ that would be seen as a production model overseas. In traditional Scion form, this iQ Concept has been overhauled and customized appealing to Scion's core market. An extremely clean widebody was done along with custom 18-inch wheels, bright yellow paint makes for a stylish theme overall. Once again Five Axis worked their magic with Scion to produce one awesome concept. Additional photos and official press release after the jump.
