The Daihatsu Bertone Rocky, a unique and stylish hatchback, was a joint venture between the Japanese automaker Daihatsu and the Italian design house Bertone. Launched in 1984, the Rocky aimed to capture the European market with its distinctive Italian flair juxtaposed with reliable Japanese engineering. The car boasted a futuristic and aerodynamic design, characterized by sharp lines, a sloping roofline, and a prominent front grille. This design language was a departure from typical Daihatsu models at the time, highlighting Bertone's influence. The Rocky was available in several variations, including the 3-door hatchback and the more practical 5-door model. Power came from a selection of petrol engines, ranging from the economical 1.0-liter unit to the more powerful 1.3-liter option, offering a blend of performance and fuel efficiency.

Despite its unique design and engineering, the Daihatsu Bertone Rocky faced challenges in the competitive European market. The car's small size and relatively high price point compared to its rivals hindered its success. The Rocky's unusual styling, while initially lauded, proved to be a double-edged sword, alienating some buyers who preferred more conventional designs. Production ceased in 1990 after a relatively short lifespan, marking the end of the unique collaboration between Daihatsu and Bertone. However, the Bertone Rocky remains a fascinating glimpse into the automotive history of the 1980s, showcasing an attempt to bridge the gap between Japanese practicality and Italian design flair, ultimately leaving a lasting impression on the compact hatchback segment.
