Off course! But it's slightly rounder than the original.

DYKT: bB is a shortform for "blackBox"

And here's the original:

Adrian Wong · 28th Dec 2005, 01:38 AM

Hmm.. Don't know why but I think the older Toyota bB looks better.

Yup! You've Got that right! The Nissan Cube, Mitsubishi Colt Plus & Mazda Verisa (Slightly larger version of the Demio.) is the bB's rival.

btw, Daihatsu will also be showing a rebadged Toyota bB at the Geneva motorshow. Toyota will market the bB in Europe as the Daihatsu D Compact Wagon! Not sure it will come with or without the bB's 9 speaker ICE!

More info will be available when the car is unveiled officially at the 76th Geneva Motorshow.

The Daihatsu version's front end looks kinda bland though.....

Competitors in Europe:

-Opel/ Vauxhall Meriva

-VW Polo 1.4 (Petrol)

-Mitsubishi Colt

-Suzuki SX4/ Fiat Sedici (Rumoured to replace the Ignis in Europe.)

-Suzuki Ignis/ Subaru Justy G3X (Chevrolet Cruze.)

-Mazda 2 (Export version of the Demio.)

-Ford Fusion (Don't confuse it with the Fusion sedan in the US/ Canada. Ford sells a tall compact crossover known as the fusion in Europe.)
