It’s like a cross between an 800 and modern day Bronco
I really like the vertical sliver turn signal indicator. Thats pretty sweet as a detail

Long ago, I mentioned on here somewhere that the Scout 80 size two door could be a street legal side by side. The UTV market has become incredibly advanced. You just can’t drive them on the street in a lot of states. A vehicle that size with a lower market volume expectation would probably do well. I mean if Scout essentially came out with a vehicle roughly between the size of the old 80 and a Polaris crew, they may be in to something. It would take away share from Wrangler and Bronco two door models, and also take share from the UTV market ( Polaris, CanAm, etc).

I'm not a fan of the round headlights.

BWAHAHA!

You know with all the headlight discussions, I had to say this! *grin*

Why does the title say based on Rivian? The only relationship between Scout and Rivian is software right?

Mechanically they are two different vehicle platforms. The Scout Motors platform is a body-on-frame setup. We will utilize aspects of the Rivian software and zonal architecture.

I hope the new scout has at least 10 inches of front travel. 4 inches up and 6 down would be awesome. Some forethought into a 3 inch lift would be amazing.

I personally am not looking for a huge lift and tires just small 3 to 4 inch raise so it will be different than every grocery getter, also good for camping and overlanding.
