With the D-Compact Wagon, Toyota-owned Daihatsu has repackaged for Europe the US-market Scion xB and its Japan-market sister model, the Toyota dB. The 3800mm-long, four-door D-Compact Wagon has the same boxy looks as the US and Japanese small minivans.
Meanwhile, here's the Toyota Urban Cruiser concept described in the Autoweek article above:

This photo has been posted elsewhere in the forum. Speculations that it was the next model xB scared me! Now it seems that this version is only the European version. For once, it looks as though the US has the best model. If only we had all wheel drive, like I heard the bB has.

Who will be first to start selling EDM ("European Domestic Market") items? I still get the fascination with JDM / bB. But maybe its just me. Maybe we could even buy some Daihatsu Racing Development stickers for a hp boost?
