BOLOGNA, Italy — Japanese automaker
Daihatsu, an affiliate of the Toyota group, has announced a European version of its home-market Coo, a boxy compact based on the Toyota bB.
In Europe, the car will be rebadged as the
Daihatsu Materia and will go on sale in mid-2007.
The
Materia will share a 103-horsepower 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine from the
Daihatsu Terios crossover. Prices are expected to start at just over $21,000.
Toyota meanwhile is planning to replace its Scion xB next spring in the U.S., but has said the next-generation model won't be a clone of the Japanese-market bB.
