Nameplate Return
In 2003, the Charade name was resurrected in the UK and Australia. The new Charade is now a rebadged Daihatsu Mira (Cuore in other European markets, Charade in Morocco), and it is positioned one market segment below its previous generations. It is available as a three or five-door hatchback with a 1.0 L inline-four engine. It has since been discontinued in Australia due to Toyota retiring the Daihatsu nameplate in Australia, due to the market climate and the fact that Toyota believes that the Toyota Yaris suffices as their smallest car in Australia. In 2011, Daihatsu Europe brought the Toyota Yaris on the market as Daihatsu Charade. This is to be the last new model introduced under the Daihatsu nameplate in Europe.

Famous quotes containing the word return:
“Compassion is frequently a sense of our own misfortunes, in those of other men; it is an ingenious foresight of the disasters that may fall upon us hereafter. We relieve others, that they may return the like when our occasions call for it; and the good offices we do them are, in strict speaking, so many kindnesses done to ourselves beforehand.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
