Daihatsu has launched the 2011 model year version of its tiny Copen roadster in Japan. In order to keep buyers interested, Toyota's subsidiary enhanced the base trim level with additional standard features and introduced a new Ultimate S Edition that gains a restyled grille, dark colored 15-inch BBS alloys, a Momo steering wheel and gear lever, plus the option of full leather sport seats or a set of Recaro buckets draped in Alcantara.
All version of the 3.4-meter long Copen come with a power hardtop and a 660cc turbocharged engine producing 64HP at 6,000 rpm and 110Nm of peak torque at 3,200rpm, matched to either a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual gearbox.

Cute enough to snuggle up to with the front bumper of a Peterbilt!

We should get those. Be a fun little commuter.
This is soo cool man. What a desireable motor. The looks are so good...it makes you want. and i have never heard of Daihatsu......Man!
I've seen the real deal... and it is Kawaii (Japanese for cute)!
GM should import this to the U.S. and re-badge it as an Aveo. It can't be any worse!
definitely NOT worse.
this like the MX-5 crosses classes and would make an excellent 2nd car for weekend drives and fun driving. And if offered at an affordable, sub $17K price tag !!! Much how the MX-5 started out...

Cute chick car. The tacke-on extras are unnecessary and aren't really an improvement.

Indeed it is cute... It looks cuter than the mini... and Daihatsu? It is a subsidiary brand of Toyota, specializing in kei-cars and compact SUVs developed with mechanical parts and mostly from... yeah its Toyota. But, the copen is a unique product on its own - IMO (unless someone can share his views).
