Pa-merge nalang if deemed necessary...

Very Airstream-ish look... more modern, but the sensible, large greenhouse is still there, as opposed to the overly dramatic rising belt-line of the Yaris, which limits rear visibility.


Not sure about the Accord-style chrome-flanked grille...


But I like this grille... and yes, boys, the windshield does start over the front wheels. Note the more accented rear wheel-arch... yummy.


Interesting dash... wonder how it converts to LHD?


ULT is still the king... and the seats are shapelier now... only a test-drive will tell if they're more comfortable.

And the piece de resistance:



If the local edition comes with that... I'm a-gonna sell my kidneys for one...

[BlueBimmer]

expect the local version to be watered down...95% without the roof glass :bwahaha:

[pajerokid]

I see some S2000 in the bumper. And yes.... asa pa tayo na may panoramic sunroof.

[niky]

Shhhhhh.... don't ruin it... I'm still daydreaming...

I think a 1.5 MT with 120 hp would just about hit the spot... maybe by the time it comes in, I'll have enough financial leverage to pull off a purchase.

yep, it'll get here. sans the sunroof. then again, with the heat we have here, i'd probably tint that sunroof so that it doesn't heat up the cabin. but it is a nice touch, i must say

[2slow]

Very nice. Its shpe is like a computer mouse.

[pajerokid]

No offense to jazz/city lovers but i find the thumb twiddle shifters not so nice... i mean, theyre a nice touch but paddle shifters are the way to go IMO! That thumb space is best reserved for THE FREAKIN HORN (hirap ako bumusina sa jazz for some reason)... or to a lesser extent, radio controls.

grabe ah! ang ganda.. sana maganda rin yung ride and space sa loob (width-wise).

[DonT]

Wow..very nice dash board..looks very inviting. I hope they would release the same here in pinas.

[drey]

Ang ganda nya! except for that grille....

Buti nalang di looking CR-V sya.

[isketi]

Manibela ng Civic!

[mazrev]

pati ata shift knob pang civic!

ganda ng labas!

kaso bat nanghiram ng gamit sa civic..civic n auto ko e..

[Vioser]

I hope the 2008 Honda City will also look the same at the front.

[niky]

2009 is nearly sure.

Honda can't release more than 2 cars a year. Their schedule goes:
2006 - Civic
2007 - CR-V
2008 - Accord
2009 - Jazz

If the local Honda office has the good sense to reverse the order between the Accord and the Jazz, I'll be happy, but the Accord launch is already in the pipeline, and I don't think they can change it that easily.

[ale828]

Honda really need to change the Accord which is being badly beaten by the Toyota Camry. i think they might release the all new City before the all new Jazz just like what they did with the current model. The Current city model has been in the market since 2003, while the Jazz since 2004. So i think it might be the city first to be replaced before the Jazz.

thats incorrect. The Jazz was already out in 2001 (japan). late lng tlga dinala dito sa Pinas, nauna lang ang Fit Aria (city). I just cant imagine how the Next gen Fit Aria would look like with this new body.. (can someone (good with photoshop) do some rendering??) hehe :D

[wilcats]

And the new Accord, it sux in the looks dept., Camry parin ako.. Pero panalo naman honda sa compact/subcompact car market eh and the CUV too

Yes 2001 pa nga iyang Jazz, I remember saying we Would trade our Echo verso anytime for a Jazz.

Thats why in the year 2005 we bought a Suzuki Jimny.

By the way, Honda seems to be marketing the City Aggressively, Mailed Brochures,New colors, better deals. I think its a sign na malapit na dumating ang bagong modelo.

They'll probably do what Toyota did with the Yaris hatchback and Yaris sedan(new Vios), give the sedan its own body on a stretched platform so it doesn't look too awkward.

But if you want to see how the new Fit/Jazz would look like as a sedan...
