New Honda Freed

I like it lalo kung maluwag sa loob at lalo sa 3rd row. If they put their award-winning diesel in it, I'd consider buying it at 1.4 in 2-3 years' time. By that time, the Innova would probably hit close to that already anyway.

nah imo it wont sell even if it has a diesel engine unless of its classified as same line with the grandis. but this is an MPV which is in the same class as avanza which sells at low price. diesel MPV at 1.4m? it wont sell really

Teka pano ba natin masasabing 1.4M yan?? Eh wala pa nga dito eh, those prices are just speculation and I don't think Honda is stupid to sell it at that price since like us they are also smart to realize it won't see at that price given the CRV is even cheaper...

^^^ yup speculating the price kung viable ba sa pinas market... kaya speculating din yung mga reaction...

hope the freed would be priced at 800k (more or less) para panalo sa market.

oh yeah i just saw it the last page

**tidus1203** · June 2nd, 2008 10:07 PM

Yeah but its all speculative anyway, so for now we should not dwell too much on that price...

The Freed looks like the successor to the belated Airwave/Partner, which were both based on the GD chassis.

From the specs it seems the Freed is based on the chassis and guts of the GE Fit/Jazz. Best to classify the slab-sided vehicle as what Europeans would call a "midi-MPV", in my opinion. Such a vehicle straddles the boundaries between a minivan and a small car. As such, I don't think this will cost PhP1.4 million.

According to Motioncars, the Freed will follow the GE Jazz and new City to our shores. Expect a release date in early 2009. They say it'll get the L15A i-VTEC engine, mated to either a CVT or automatic.
