When I looked into the company, I found out that they have been in business for over a century, although it certainly does not mean that they have been building cars that entire time. I just saw a car by a company that hardly sold here and assumed that it must have been a failure. I believe that I heard of European Diahatsus while I was in Germany, but pretty much thought the company was out of business. However, reading Wikipedia, it seems like they are doing well, and some of their cars have been sold as Toyotas. It seemed like the main reason that they stopped selling in the United States is because Toyota obtained a controlling interest and pulled them.
