2011 begins with a very bad news for fans of the inimitable and small Copen Daihatsu kei-cars since learned today that the Japanese automaker will withdraw from the European market within two years.
The Toyota brand has indeed announced that she will leave the European market starting January 2013. Levels of sales of Daihatsu have always been anecdotal in our old continent and the Japanese brand has declined to pursue its marketing effort in Europe.
Note that the supply of spare parts and after-sales service will always be available for owners of Daihatsu.
