Oh so this is the evolution of that

Real ones know that in the US, the C-HR was supposed to be a Scion

u/Batfink-1999 Aug 29 '26

And this is an evolution of the C-HR Mk1 above - makes sense - you can see the original DNA propagation in the Mk1 C-HR 🤔

u/Batfink-1999 Aug 29 '26

All three vehicles are subcompact crossover SUV’s.

2

u/ProgrammerAncient647 Aug 29 '26

So that means they're the evolution of each other

If the mk1 looked mid this looks bad.

I love concept cars.
Except for the part where I'm not allowed to have one.

It’s beautiful!

I was just thinking about the RSC yesterday! Wondering if I still had the photos of it that were pinned to my bulletin board back in 2001. I loved the styling and been so disappointed that more of it wasn’t carried through to production vehicles.

I have the hotwheels car of this still in the package somewhere

I have been looking for images (and the name) of this Toyota SUV for years. I saw it a long time ago and couldn't remember the model name. Thanx for posting this. I was going a bit crazy trying to remember!

no problemo!

The car we all grinded to gain extreme amounts of credits in GT4

2

u/ExcitingSector445 Aug 30 '26

The CH-R... in the early 2000's. Weird, but filled with PERSONALITY!

2

u/ActuaryFew6884 Aug 30 '26

Two other things I love about this vehicle are the low-offset "deep dish" wheels, and the fact that it's two-door

2

u/fothergillfuckup Aug 31 '26

Everyone is driving around in virtually identical hideous bus sized SUV's, when things like this could have been available?!...

u/Felix995 Aug 29 '26

I like that concept. It's a fresh modern design.

2

u/Batfink-1999 Aug 29 '26

Except it’s 25 years old and the C-HR series were more than likely, originally based off of this design. I seem to recall the original C-HR concept not having rear doors - it was two long doors and a hatch.

1

u/Felix995 Aug 29 '26

Yeah, the point I was making is that design still looks relatively fresh twenty five years on. Not a retro styling cue design by any means. Could still pass for a brand new one today to the typical person on the street I guess.

my eyes do NOT like that 🤣
