yep, the honda fit/jazz should be here in 2006 if the rumors are correct.

I think this is a repost tho.

Could it be the Fit? I've heard about that coming over...

"The Civic is reaching its final model year, before a full model change in 2005."
That's nice to see.

I dont think they will offer 1.3L.... 1.5 is more appropriate...... but if the Civic dies on me, I wouldnt mind having this as my next econobox/grocery getter.

Yup. The Fit is coming. I think though that we're getting the Fit Aria/City sedan. Don't mock that small car, it has a DOHC 1.5L engine with a 7spd auto... And yes, like mentioned, that car can accomodate the K20/K24 and it is lighter than a Civic.

Looks more like competition for the Chevy Aveo of Toyota Echo than for the Scion. Shoehorning a K20 into one of those things would be fun.

Honda is tanking - if they think the Fit will compete with the scion they are mistaken. The Scion is classy looking, with leather seats, moon roof, alloys AND a good engine to boot for the price.

The Fit, well, it looks like , plain and simple. Honda needs to start upping the ante with class in their economy cars....

I for one do not plan on getting another honda after the civic - the price point for their cars is just too high for what you get.

I really hope Honda reads these boards, although I highly doubt it, they seem way too egotistical to even bother....bah.

That is exactly why Honda needs to sell it here. Honda's were once king of the very small car market, they have consistantly grown and currently nothing occupies the sub-compact category.

Which Scion are you looking at? This car will go head to head with the xA and xB! Not the tC.

I have to agree with opto, the honda line is just getting worse as the years go by...I have taken the Tc on a test drive and I must say that it is amazing what they charge for it.

scamboards is my site. I had just posted it up on my forum first. I Figured I would just post a link to it, instead of retyping the post all over again.

If you haven't checked out the site, check it out. It deals with all of the scams found around the net, ebay, etc. Also has an off topic area where people post car stuff, or whatever.

It started because Slappy -a member here, had his car pictures stolen out of the members rides area. Then the guy posted it on ebay to try and sell a car he didn't own. It goes on and on. Search "slappy ride" or slappy ebay, or whatever on this site , and you'll find tons of posts about his ride being stolen.

I'm hoping we get this version:

This is the Fit Aria Sedan or the City in some other markets. Anyway, it has been confirmed by Honda that a smaller model will be released, but they will unveil which one at the Detroit Auto Show. I really think we'll get the sedan version because we don't get the 5-door Civic.

Anyway, this in the pic is the City in the Philippines, so it is Left-hand drive, but in KM...
