History
The Daihatsu Mira and Cuore replaced the Daihatsu Max Cuore in July 1980. This was replaced by the second generation (L70) of the Mira/Cuore which was introduced in 1985. For most generations there were two engine sizes available: one smaller version, to suit Japanese domestic regulations, of either 550 or 660 cc, and a bigger-engined version for export markets. The L200 variant (1990–94), for instance, came with a three-cylinder 660 cc engine with 40–64 PS (29–47 kW) in Japan, while other parts of the world received a bigger-hearted variant with a 847 cc. The L500 Mira is the first kei car from Daihatsu to offer a four-cylinder (660 cc) engine. This, the fourth generation Mira, was introduced in 1994 and was still based on the same chassis as the third generation (L200). October 1998 saw the fifth generation (L700) introduced, while the sixth generation was introduced in 2002 (even though the L700 Mira Gino remained in production until 2004), and in 2006 the seventh generation model was introduced.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”

That the history of creation proceeds according to
Stringent laws, and that things
Do get done in this way, but never the things
We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
To see come into being.”
