Geneva Preview: Toyota Urban Cruiser Compact Crossover

At next month's Geneva Motor Show, Toyota will unveil the newest addition to its European crossover line-up, the Urban Cruiser. The compact crossover, which was presented last year in the Japanese market as the Toyota Ist, is nothing more than a Scion xD with a few styling changes and a slightly higher ground clearance.

According to Toyota’s Spartan press release, the Urban Cruiser is "an environmentally responsible small SUV aimed at the urban all-roader market. It provides an answer to consumer desires for SUVs but with low fuel consumption and low emissions.” Whatever.

SEMA: Scion xD Widebody by Five Axis Design

Now here’s a Scion xD that I wouldn’t actually mind seeing parked in my garage –well, if I had a garage, that is. The widebody kit is beautifully integrated to the xD which is painted in a vigorous Papaya Orange color. The kit is complemented by 20-inch alloy wheels in 245/30 R20 Yokohama rubber up front and 295/25 R20 in the rear.

As you can see in the detailed list after the jump, Scion’s SEMA-fied xD is filled with aftermarket components and accessories like the suspension and brake kits, Sparco racing seats and DVD player. Disappointingly, the supped Scion xD doesn’t feature any engines mods whatsoever. Too bad, we were just starting to like it. -Details and pics after the jump

2007 SEMA: Scion xD Dalek Speedster

Wow, doesn’t this concept look like someone simply chopped the roof off a Scion xD? Now that we mention it, someone actually did. Of course, just by saying that we wouldn’t do justice to the work that went behind the transformation of the 2008 xD into a speedster. The Dalek Scion xD features tons of accessories like the fully hidden interior roll-cage, the hand-carved beechwood trim and the champagne box between the custom built and stitched diamond-tucked black leather rear seats. Still, it does look kinda odd, doesn’t it… -Details and high-res images after the jump
