Extra, Extra....Read All About It!

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
The small squirkle steering wheel and weird straps holding the dash up really threw me for a loop.

Completely unsure of the high-tension line or cable running from the hood to the rack, what purpose does that serve?
Probably none but they are never going to make it so who cares. Throw weird cables and sh** all over the thing. 😹

I don’t know what it serves on this concept vehicle.

Such cables—when installed properly and in the right places—can protect the vehicle, its windshield, and other gear from low-hanging tree branches and brush that cover the trail. But most concept vehicles with these cables have them in nonsense places and it’s clear the designer doesn’t understand their purpose. In the case of the Crater concept vehicle, for example, the cables direct tree branches and brush to the expensive lights on the roof, so that’s an “interesting” design decision.

Well I highly doubt it will drive on a road let alone a trail. Honestly these car companies.

Today I saw Genesis tease a G90 wagon. Like an actual wagon. Drove it out on stage and everything. Bet they won’t make that either.

Our preference for the replacement of our Mustang, when the sad time comes (obviously it will have to be a BEV):
  1. Minivan with about 8 inches of clearance
  2. Wagon with about 8 inches of clearance
  3. SUV with about 8 inches of clearance
The Scout makes the list at #3. There aren’t (m)any options at #1 or #2, which makes us sad.

I don't know why Wagons are so rare here, I really like them as well. Back when I lived in the UK I had a Golf R Wagon which I loved. Nice and fast and loads of room in the back. I know they made the Golf Wagon here (although I barely ever see any) but they never released the Golf R in Wagon version in the USA.
