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

    DYKT: bB is a shortform for "blackBox"

    And here's the original:

    2000-2003 Toyota bB:

    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.)
