2006 Hondas
 
I just read over at www.vtec.net about the 06 Accord 6MT sedan, the vigorous
trim lines for 06 Civic and with the Jazz coming, I think Honda is making
some cool moves for 06! Pretty cool, huh.

I reached for the Jazz link first thing and came to this remarkably
researched article:

http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/JazzVtec/index.html

The 1.5 Liter VTEC Jazz is rated (and getting, according to the reviewer) 47
mpg. Mighty sweet.

You didn't happen to notice any official word at this site as to when the
Jazz will be available in the U.S., did you?

Yes.

The post about the Japanese guys filming the commercial in Florida about the
Honda Fit (and how it was _not_ coming to the U.S. soon(!)) was funny, too.
:-)

They SHOULD bring it to North America, as it would be formidable competition
for the Toyota Echo. The Chevy Aveo, for example, cannot match the Echo for
quality and fuel economy like the Fit/Jazz can.

hahaha... toosmall, toosmall, hahaha....!

um, right.

they see how the scions are doing, as well as the mini cooper. theyd be
retarded NOT to release it here while theres a demand. ackshully, they
shoulda brought it here a couple years ago but they probably wanted to
see how scion was going to do.

eh, the echo (IMO) is fugly. tall and narrow, with what look like tiny
wheels. the scions (A&B) are based on the echo platform/drivetrain, but
have proper 15" wheels.

as for the aveo? id boycott them merely for the fact its a daewoo. GM
bought em and shut down their NA operations, then brought the cars back
under their own nameplates.

Really. 50 mpg. Baby.

One of the posters later in the thread does claim the Fit is coming to the
U.S. about 2006.

Why are they filming a commercial in Miami for a car they won't sell in the
U.S. soon, anyway? One can only speculate.

I just looked at all the photos at the site. Get a load of that engine
compartment!
