They are just perfect for a CROWDED city. Where Americans never understand unless they've actually lived in those cramped places, because there is all the land they needed.

Daihatsu needs to change their image or they will only be able to sell low-profit-margin-mini cars. Toyota should bring back the 2000 GT, put in a lexus V8, and put a daihatsu badge on it. They could sell quite a few of those.

And the reat of the Pontiac line??..Thats crazy. The plastic mold thing is a thing of the past. II think the G6 is one of the best lookin GM cars that has came out in a loooong time. The
Aztek coulda had potential. If it woulda came out lookin like it did b4 production ended I think it may have survived..maybe

The aztek is an example of what is wrong with the car design business today. The engineers specified what the dimensions would be and told the stylists to design a car that would have those numbers and look good. The stylists did a concept car that looked better than the production car. The engineers were not impressed. They decided to make some changes because they thought any change would be an improvement. The end result was something that looked like the aztek. The engineers blamed the stylists because it was their job to make it look good. The stylists blamed the engineers for changing it. both groups had good excuses, and their work was done.

I read something about this in car design news' forum. This is off the record. This would make a good magazine article, but I doubt that GM would co-operate.

If you think Daihatsu never made a sporty model then you never seen anything on the Storia X4, YRV Turbo, limited production FR-X or the Charade GTTi.

So in other words even though Daihatsu doesn't have to make some V8 sports car or even any sports car, since they can already make hatches or coupe that are sporty yet fit in with their affordable image. Now aside from the Storia X4 and, Charade GTTi vs other sporty cars of their era or even this one if tuned properly, they might not have as good performance as even a Civic Si but as long as they are just as sporty in character, have as many features or be lighter in weight yet is still cheaper they can still secure something in the line of budget performance.

One main reason why Daihatsu sucks is because ALL of their cars are NOT 4 wheel disc brakes. Except for the Daihatsu Altis which is a camry. NOT EXCUSED. Mark my word. ALL of their cars have rear drum brakes (disc/drum) instead of 4 wheel disc (disc/disc). it really really sucks. sucks.

claytonisapro · 08-17-2013, 01:37 AM

you see even their sport roadster Daihatsu Copen is disc/drum. sucks to the max

I used to own a Daihatsu Feroza (Sportrak) LONG time back. though the ride was crappy, the little suv was well built and never died on me once. the Daihatsu I hate is the terious. Its disgusting, its designers probably designed it to resemble crap. man its just ugly, looks like it got its a** f**ked by a LX570 or a QX56 so hard that it caved in.
