  A large class of solutions of the Einstein-conformal scalar equations in
D=2+1 and D=3+1 is identified. They describe the collisions of asymptotic
conformal scalar waves and are generated from Einstein-minimally coupled scalar
spacetimes via a (generalized) Bekenstein transformation. Particular emphasis
is given to the study of the global properties and the singularity structure of
the obtained solutions. It is shown, that in the case of the absence of pure
gravitational radiation in the initial data, the formation of the final
singularity is not only generic, but is even inevitable.
