Toyota just updated the Auris for Geneva. Could the Scion iM production model feature the revised styling, with Scion badges instead?

Toyota Auris Gets a Fresh Face, New Engine Lineup for Geneva

It should, could and probably will... the 86 and FRS share the same relationship...

Yea I have a feeling that this is basically what the Scion iM will be just with different badges. Do you think anything else will be different other than the badges?
Perhaps some tech bits for the young demographic? A few different color options?

SiM · Feb 24, 2015

I'll like to see them do more than just swapping badges although that alone may be what they do and what the demographic will be happy enough with. Plus it leaves them room to keep it fresh as the years go by.

I also wonder if they will make a hybrid version of the Scion iM. If the Auris gets it then will the iM get it as well?

I like the bi-color wheels. They're edgy and perfect for Scion. Bring those wheels Toyota!

that would be a good angle for them to go
with the growing demand of hybrids, it's sure to draw more attention.

but they might want to reserve that tech for the new lexus compact.

those might be exclusive to the auris hybrid...

Good chance that will be the case.
I think the Lexus CT successor will go hybrid, it's in line with the brands growing hybrid effort.

Lexus will probably offer diesel, petrol and hybrid. That is what they did with the NX, but not in every region.

SiM · Mar 6, 2015

With that being said, it's safe to say that we should expect the same spread of powertrains across markets.

I don't think that the US will get diesel, and Scion is only sold in NA so I would say no diesel at all.

True, very unlikely.
Hybrid is the way they'll likely go if they go that direction.

Are there even any hybrid Scions right now?
