To be more specific, the overhang will be “super tight” up front, which may result in a longer bed. The front fascia will also integrate the brand’s iconic fold-down front windshield just like the original Scouts.
Scout is connecting the past with the present by retaining the original logo, along with several old graphics. Real door handles will also reportedly be installed as opposed to the usual flush type in most electric cars.
Despite this design approach, Scout doesn’t want to go full-on with classic aesthetics, especially since the EV maker is looking to build a new brand. “We didn’t want to say to America, ‘It’s the ’70s again,'” Keogh said. “It’s the 21st century and of course it’s a modern car.”
