Talk:Daihatsu Materia/Toyota bB

Times, Speeds
0-60 in 10.2... what? minutes? And a top speed of "106" km/h or mph? 82.153.230.138 (talk) 17:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

related vs aka
The Toyota bB, Scion xB, Subaru Dex and Daihatsu Materia are all based on the same basic platform. Should these be regarded as variants of the same car (ie list them in the 'aka' field in the infobox) or as merely close relatives (ie list them in the 'related' field in the infobox)? Please answer at Talk:Toyota bB, not here.  Stepho  talk 04:26, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Untitled
This article really needs expansion, to justify keeping it around, and separate from Scion xB. --Vossanova 20:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * And why do we NEED to keep it separate? I should think it could easily be merged with the Scion xB article, as long as there's a Redirect, so that someone looking for the Toyota bB would still be able to find it!  That's MY two cents!  Mpwrmnt 07:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed model kits
I commented out the model kit pictures, I'm not really sure why these were here. If someone feels strongly that they should be here please remove the commenting and put them back in.Improbcat (talk) 13:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Why the Merge?
I don't understand why these articles were merged? They were the same vehicle for the first generation, but have diverged and are completely different vehicles based on completely different platforms for subsequent generations. Having them together, then explaining that a 2nd generation xb is one car and 2nd generation bb is a completely different car seems needlessly confusing. Also things like the open deck, or the release series are region-specific and don't carry over.

I think these should be kept seperate even though there is overlap, much like the Ford Focus.Improbcat (talk) 14:47, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
