Should i sell my box for this?
Last few weeks i was thinking about just selling my Box, and getting Daihatsu Materia, and converting it to a JDM *new* bB
This picture got me thinking about this... I just felt in love with the curves of the new bB...

I have 3 options:
1. get that Daihatsu (one thing - i dont like how this Daihatsu sounds :D :D ) Materia - conver it to bB (full front / rear parts and etc)
2. Get the USDM Xb ver2 (but i dont like the fuel consumption of it)
3. Continue with my 06 Xb - cuz my wife loves it and it only has 10K miles....
hmm....
Im going to look at the Materia next week - if it looks OK as it is in the pics - im gonna source one with the front damaged :D
And question about Xb2 - is it too hard to find parts like headlights / bumpers / and all the other body parts for them?

Don't bother with the xB2. If you have a Materia available to you, it should be a no-brainer. Besides, just rebadge everything to bB... nobody will ever know it's a Daihatsu (I won't tell anyone)

The breakdown:
Pros:
1. I would go with it because not everyone over here knows what that is. You could practically drive with your eyes closed and fell the attention on the road. You'll have a goooood future on the road ahead of you with that thing over here. Especially in that tuxedo, dripping wet black.
2. You've already made a good move by going with the first gen xB. This is and will always be a head turner. Not to mention the gas mileage, excellent turn radius, and thousands of mod options available to you.
Cons:
1. The total "OMG" expense of converting this damn thing to a bB.
2. Who doesn't have a first gen xB? GREAT car, but you're no more unique than anyone else here. But it's still a GREAT car!
I love my 1st gen xB; but I would grab this bad boy if I had the chance...

Daihatsu Matieria is sold ingermany and across whole Europe (1 gen Xb isnt availible in EU - only in US, or as Toyota bB in Japan...)
So this Materia - is more od less already known...
Thanks for your options guys :D Will try to keep updated.
