6. Scion iM Concept
Unveiled at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Scion iM Concept was a five-door compact hatchback inspired by European touring car racing. It featured a wide stance, low ride height, edgy geometric grille inserts, deep air intakes, and 19-inch forged alloy wheels. The custom “Incrediblue” paint, complemented by matte silver and gunmetal accents, highlighted its sporty design. The production version, rebranded as the Toyota Corolla iM, toned down these sporty details, losing much of the show car’s edge. (pressroom.toyota.com)
