Japanese Magazine: bB Sexiest Car of the Year
So I was surfing the Japanese car sites today and came across this!!! (I apologize if this was covered already)
THE 2006 JAPANESE bB!!!
http://www.carview.co.jp/road_impression/2006/bB/
DAYUM!!!!!!
I will post a full translation ASAP, but at least I was able to do the first page... I know Japanese, but I forget Kanji sometimes ;)
Im also going to Japan in March; I will head immediatly to the nearest Toyota Dealer in Osaka so I can get some brochures and some up close photos... and maybe even a test drive!!
PAGE 1
"A newxB?? " "how? " Shown for the first time at the Detroit show last month it was heard from the face familiar American journalist. In america the car only debuted 3 years ago to American Journalists. Here (in Japan) it has sold longer. In America 2 1/2 years half ago, Toyota decided to sell to the young people under the brand "Scion". It became popular and sould out immediately, Exceeding expectations.
"LIFE" magazine called it one of the "Sexiest Cars of the Year ", "Parents" magazine called it "Family Car of the Year ". In California, the interior space was praised by retired folks, saying that the popularty is overwhelming.
Due to this popularity, an announcement was made in Seikaibe in December that a new bB was to come out. As unexpected as this was, international journalists asked "why?" But the while the new bB does reflect the old model, it is very different indeed...
