All-new 2009 Honda Jazz exposed

We’ve come across full press photos of the all-new 2009 Honda Jazz, also known as the Fit in other markets. This car will be released at the Tokyo Auto Show this year

While no other details are available, we don’t expect much of a power jump from the current 1.5-litre four-cylinder motor. We don’t expect the hard plastic interior materials to change either.

The dark-coloured model is the body-kitted top version, while the lighter model is the basic version. Features include folding rear seats, digital climate control and a panoramic glass roof.

The current girly Jazz never did catch on in the Middle East, even though it is a practical fun-to-drive vehicle. The existing engine is very stressed under hard throttle, but then again, the money-saving crowd never really cared about that. However, the same crowd prefers sedans over hatchbacks too, paying a little more and choosing the Civic instead (while ignoring the butt-ugly City).
