Default bB vs bB

Well, some of you guys is wondering how the new bB stack against the old bB... Had a chance to meet a owner of the new bB here in Singapore.... so we put our cars together and took some pictures.... well for you guys to judge which is better, the new or the old..... too bad the US don't have this new bB just as yet. btw, the interior space of the old bB is much roomier then the new bB.

KapitanE : Do you know how the new bB is selling ? Do people like the new look better ? How do they feel about the new bB being a smaller car?

Heard the new bB is selling very well..... in fact my friend a car dealer just sold two yesterday. People in Singapore are taking to the shape very well, unlike the previous model, where only people like me is liking it.

Well, the bB is not sold by the authorised Toyota agent here in Singapore. They only sell the "conventional" Toyota cars here, so if we want something "exotic", we have to approach the parallel importers, who will bring in any cars you want, as long as they meet the environmental requirements. My bB was bought in that manner, where I specified wanting a factory installed sun roof.

The new bB has many version, the one you see in the pictures, is the zq version, which is 1500 cc, with full sound system factory fitted in Japan. There are also the 1300 cc available. Like anything else, as long as you are willing to pay, you will get what you want...... I may get the Modellista street billet version soon myself as a second car.

Give me a call when you are here, ..... send me an e-mail and I will reply with my phone number.... my neighbour is a filipino family working for Citibank, ... well there are thousand of filipino families here, and they are close knitted, your family here will probably know my neighbours, whose family name is Arcangeles, Micheal and Rozan, with son Andrew and daughter Melissa.
