New Subaru Justy Rumored to Premiere at 2009 Tokyo Motor Show in October

The curtains won't be falling on the Frankfurt Motor Show extravaganza until the end of this weekend, but the automotive world is already getting prepared for the next big car meeting, the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show in Japan at the end of October. One of the cars that are rumored to make their debut at the Japanese show is the new Subaru Justy. Citing inside sources, Japan's Best Car magazine claims that the next Justy will be a rebadged Toyota Ractis with its own unique fascia. The current generation Justy is a... rebadged Daihatsu Sirion with a different front-end treatment.

Confused? Well, it's even more complicated than you think. See, both the Daihatsu Sirion (which by the way, is sold in Japan also as the Toyota Passo...) and the Toyota Ractis are based on the underpinnings of the Toyota Yaris. Kinda like a Japanese automotive incest fest...

If the story about the Justy-Ractis turns out to be true, we can't wait to find out what Toyota has in store for us next.

Subaru Justy gets Pin-Striped: New Special Edition 'R' Model

About as sporty as it is an original Subaru, the Justy 1.0R is a new special edition version of Subie's rebadged Daihatsu Sirion that will be produced in a limited run of 100 units. Available in Black Mica or Shining Red, the Justy 1.0R justifies its existent in the firm's UK range due to the extra equipment that comprises a rear roof spoiler; twin exhaust system; over roof 'viper stripes' and side decals; leather and alloy gear knob and rear privacy glass.

The mini's standard equipment also includes air conditioning; ABS with EBD; driver, passenger, front side and curtain airbags; radio/CD player with AUX input; four electric windows and remote central-locking. Subaru U.K. has priced the special edition model from £9,995, or £690 more than the standard model.

A further enhancement available is an alloy wheel package comprising 15" Monza R wheels with Toyo 185/55R15 tyres at £600 (inc. VAT) for a set of four (plus fitting).
