just recently saw some tv ads for this campaign. the car they ended up designing were amazing. just got one complaint and kinda huge mistake on scions part. instead of focusing everything on the xB they should've also included the redesigned tC and iQ. this would've been a perfect opportunity for them to market both cars. if you guys want to find out on how good/bad the campaign is. click the link to find out.

Not a very well thought out campaign at all. I won't even watch this or keep track of it. A tattoo artist to help them make their dream cars??? Really? I guess it would be too much to ask a car modifying guru or something to do it... Silly IMO.

i actually saw the ads already on tv. i think the tattoo artist only gave them advice on what to do. the actual work on the cars were done by professional shops. the dj even had a motorized turn table pop out from the back then another actuator lowered steps for him to reach the turn table. its pretty crazy.

Now that is sick, and if Roska lives up to his namesake he should appreciate that!

WOAH! I need to watch more TV to see the ad apparently

So this is sort of a remake of pimp my ride with scion now providing the car and not just paying to fix an old junker? I'm a little confused.

 

[car_crazy]

its like pimp my ride 2010 but with less flash and more function. plus the best part......no xzibit!!! lol

 

[Barbosa]

I think xzibit did good things for the scion brand. He did some things for his own brand as well and managed to make him self an internet meme.

Here's a timelapse video of one of the cars.

LOL...goooo Scion. You guys are too much. Anyhow, I don't get any Scion ads where I am.

 

[car_crazy]

nice vid. thats the car i was talking about. but they didnt show a timelapse in the ad. they just showed a before and after of the car.

 

[iQ-guy]

That xB is wicked. I love what they did with it. I saw the other one where they chopped off its roof and pretty much made it un-driveable. At least with this one it still looks like you can daily drive it, if you wanted to.

Awesome videos...LOL... makes me want to get on my old version of GT on PS2 and unlock the Scions.
