Honda Jazz

hey guys i ve seen Jazz on the road of delhi !

it ws on a companies road test thy had coverd its name and logo , the car is similar to one we hd seen in auto expo , but frankly speeking it ws nt fresh !

i hd seen many other honda products on dat road earlier too , its like these products r launched after 4-5 mnts after i ve seen them on road .

i hd also seen Stunner  ( which is launched ) , Honda CB 150R ( yet to be launched ).

the jazz thy were driving ws grey in colour ! its back ws though better than the competetion available !

shld b priced frm 4.5 - 6 ! coz its no bigger than i20 !!!

Thanks for the scoop-there are no big redesigns on the 2009 model Jazz so will look like the model on sale now.(beats the covering up part though).

Few more details of the 2009 model.

Are we expecting Jazz in near future?

Guys, Estate version of Honda City sold elsewhere other than India was called Honda Jazz / Fit. Sedan version (= ditto our Honda City) was/is called Fit Aria. So why drool..? Even in the photographs posted, it looks like Honda City (interior photos show a trend to move to Civic-like components - note the steering)..

We Indians are perpetually fooled by Car Mfrs. - Zen was called Alto outside, Verna was supposed to be a replacement for Accent, Hyundai India blithely sells both side-by-side, Similar stories can be told about a lot of models... Thats why we have a plathora of models disproportionate to our car market size. Real choice is very less.

Krishna,

Honda city and Jazz/Fit are two different vehicles although they share the same platform.

Both Jazz and city are sold in UAE.

Have a look into this link. It states the above although it is not quite updated.

There is no question about fooling. Everyone who read papers knows that A* is the alto outside. Verna is the Accent sold outside. However Accent/Alto are still retained in india owing to the demand they have.

Couple of highlights for Indian auto market.

i10 had its global launch here.

A* and i10 - both cars have their manufacturing hub here.

New honda city is not available in UAE (or middle east) yet.

To add the Honda Jazz/Fit is not an 'estate' version but hatchbacks.

Binoy.. can one categorically differentiate between the two?  Sincerely... ?
