SEMA: Scion xB L-Con City Safari Pick-Up

Toyota’s American offspring is all about body conversions at this year’s SEMA show. Along with the xD Dalek speedster Scion also presented the Sage Vaughn xB L-Con City Safari concept –we’ll call it xB pick-up for short. Unfortunately, Scion hasn’t released many details on the xB pick-up but hey, it’s not as if you’re ever going to see any of these roaming around the streets of Manhattan or anything. -Image gallery after the jump
