Hve u guys even heard of this car??@?@?@

today i saw it at Spinney's - a local was driving it (well he looked local) - but i must say, for a Daihatsu - it looked amazing.... People were stopping to look at it. One guy in a Hummer actually stopped and took a picture of it and told his companion "its a concept" ..... But it isnt.

Its a Small two seater roadster - simialr looks to the Audi TT and is a hard top convertible.. Its only 700cc engine - but it sounded mean, and looked really good...

Okay, it's only 700CC, but I dont think it's much more in kg's either.. Plus, probably a RWD platform and a 50/50 weight distribution... me likey.

Life's more than a GTR badge on your trunk..

u guys can say what u like -- but i saw it with my own eyes - looked REALLY good for a Daihatsu --- nice rims, nice lines, hard top convertible ..... neat little car ..... Not to mention a Twin Exhaust from the rear!!

and dont Daihatsu carry Toyota Engines?!?! - i know the Sirion has a toyota engine!! -- if it does - what more can u ask for ? - im sure it wont be more than 45K AED - thats cheap (relatively speaking)!

i wouldnt mind it as a daily driver (although i might be concerned with safety in a city like this - mainly 4X4 on the roads!)
