Driving the Daihatsu makes the Yaris seem like luxury.But I like how the Daihatsu picks up off the line.But with no power steering and brakes that seem faded hehe it's a bit like driving a truck.Definitely need power steer and bigger brakes and possibly a 1.6 ltr demataso conversion.

Toyota owns over 50 percent of Daihatsu and the 2nd Gen Yaris is now being produced new as the Daihatsu Charade FOR the European market until Daihatsu finishes pulling out of the European market. If I remember correctly it is being built in Thailand and then exported to Europe.

So basically the latest Daihatsu in Europe is a re-badge Toyota Yaris. I have owned my G 200 Charade for almost a day.I love

it. It's a bit of mongrel compared to the Yaris but it's a good car.Daihatsu makes pretty good small cars.Shame the company is

going downhill.

Yea, it's a rebadged 2nd Gen Yaris (XP90). I found the reference on the Toyota Vitz page on Wikipedia sometime within the last few months. Right under the picture of a red 3-Door on the right there is the heading 'Also Called' with links beside this to both Toyota Yaris and Daihatsu Charade. On the left side of the page at the same level are two pictures: a front/side view of a red 5-door and a rear/side view of a silver 5-door with the heading underneath 2011-2013 Daihatsu Charade (Europe). If you click on the Daihatsu Charade link and scroll to the bottom, you'll see a front/side picture on the right of a silver 5-door with the caption underneath: 2012 Daihatsu Charade 1.33 (Germany).

With the right MODS. It has the potential to be a real pocket rocket. I dunno why they would re-badge a Yaris and call it daihatsu charade lol.
