In an effor to expand its European offerings and meet tighter
emissions requirements,
Subaru has made a deal with
Toyota to re-badge as many as 10,000 small cars. Partly owned by Toyota, Subaru will sell slightly modified
Daihatsu (a Toyota subsidiary)
Sirions (also known as the Daihatsu Boon in
Japan and the Toyota Passo) in Europe. The small Subes could be on sale as early as later this year. No word yet on what the new variant will be called and we aren't holding our breath for a high-horsepower rally version any time soon.
