Surfing the web today found this video advertisement for the new Auris. Got a good look at the head and taillights lit up. Kind of a weird vid but it is from Japan.

What a trippy commercial. The tail lights do look good in the ad. An entertaining commercial, but again, very trippy.

Here's the video embedded:

Doesn't seem like we're getting the same tail lights as seen in that commerical.

JDM tails are a must!

Yeah, after looking a little more, I see we are getting the JDM RS trim package. Here is a video of that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR58arrzbZE

Also click on the red link in the top corner to see the Toyota Japan youtube channel. Scroll down 2/3 and click on the link with 16 videos to see more Auris videos. The last 7 videos are a other trims in the colors we are getting (including a Green that looks like the one on scion.com). Google chrome helps with this as you can translate the page easily.

*****EDIT*****
Apparently I can't figure out how to embed the video.

However still has the different tails

I do like the tail lights on the iM concept though. I'm not disappointed with the tail lights that we are getting.

when using the full URL like this: https://w ww.youtube.com/watch?v=ayJkLN6btG4 removing the 's' from https will allow it to embed, you're just one step away from successful embedding!

Super trippy commercial but the Auris doesn't look that bad at all.. Has similar looks to the VW Golf in a sense.

Let's try it again then.

The more I look at it, I am liking this spring green color -

Agreed! and the funky colours really square with the Scion brand. High pop colours seem to favour cars like the FIT, Mirage and Renegade, I dont see why the same logic shouldn't apply to the iM

Me too.

Ultimately you'll want to make sure you see it in person as video's and pictures are not always the best representation of colors.

Should be a color that appeal to a lot of young and young at heart folks.

Are you sure that green is our green? I don't think all the colors will be carried across to us.

........although it does have the same code.

 

[bicepeak]

I see the RS version is pretty much our iM.

I do like it a lot better in this video.....more like an apple green, which I think is better than the lime-ish green it looked like on the website.

Scion has all the colors listed on their website with pictures, so what ever we see their... so far.

There could be a chance they bring over other colors we don't get initially.

I have a feeling that the JDM RS package will be the Release Series version of this car. Every year Scion puts out a special edition (in limited numbers) of most of it's models. The iQ is the only vehicle that didn't have a Release Series car. The Release package includes some of the options not included in the mono-spec unit (push button start, heated seats, interior color matched trim, different seat fabrics, etc as examples of other Release cars). I expect that Orange (Hot Lava) color to be the Release Series iM with those funky seats and some of the options of the JDM RS. Which means you wouldn't be able to get the iM mono-spec in Hot Lava.

Plus Scion is a brand that aims to target the younger crowd, which colors like these more than likely help to attract.

I want the fog lights more than the tail lights
