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.

 

sweeeeeeet

 

the white one looks like mazda got ahold of it or something,,, but I like his rims better

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.

 

Can't you get better looking tails than that over there?

Both look nice.

 

KapitanE : In the US the bB is a 1500 cc motor. I the new bB the same size motor or ??

 

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.

 

I got my tails from the US actually.

 

KapitanE...I will be visiting Singapore this November heading to the Philippines. I will spend 2 days in Singapore with relatives. If you are around the city I would love to hook up with you and check out your ride.

Nice bB's by the way.

 

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.

 

I like that 3rd gen bB in white. Urs looks hawt!!

 

KapitanE : Thanks for sending these comparison pictures. They point out the visual differences very well.

 

KapitanE : Are either of these bB's lowered? Your car looks like it has been lowered about 50cm's

 

Yes, both are lowered, mine with Blitz springs while the white one with full coilovers...

 

cool comparison bro

 

KapitanE : The chrome grill on your bB looks great! Do you think it would be available to us here in the US ?

 

I bought mine grills from Japan, south-yokohama.... I was on a biz trip there and ring ahead to my purchaser to have them ordered.

 

KapitanE : Thanks again for the conversation. It's getting late here . Have a good afternoon in Singapore.

 

i think i like the old better...that new one just looks too mazda 3ish
