The shooters at KGP Photography caught a production-spec prototype for the upcoming Scion iM testing in Southern California.

The Scion iM concept that debuted at last week's L.A. Auto Show is much more edgy than the production reality (shown here) appears to be. The production iM may not inject quite the hot-hatch excitement suggested by the fetching blue concept in Scion's L.A. stand.

The Scion iM concept sported a wide-body package not found on these prototypes. The concept's aggressive front fender is thoroughly toned down behind the camouflage, and its resulting front fender flare is a no-show, as well. The production iM's European Toyota Auris roots are showing much more clearly than has been suggested by the iM concept.

The PRI Trade Show will provide a pair of events to help cultivate the next generation of talent with the Hot Rodders of Tomorrow Engine Challenge Championships and the Young Driver Development Seminar. This year’s Hot Rodders of Tomorrow competition has been split into a Dual Championship format with teams competing at both the recently completed SEMA Show and the PRI Show at the Indiana Convention Center, December 11–13.

Team Moroso, from Eastern Oklahoma County Technology Center in Choctaw, Oklahoma, defeated 22 other schools from across the nation to win last year’s Hot Rodders of Tomorrow National Championship at the PRI Trade Show in Indianapolis.
