#3 of 42 Re: 2006 Honda Fit/ 2007 Honda Latitude [dave_07] by vcarreras Dec 15, 2005 (9:46 am)
Replying to: dave_07 (Dec 15, 2005 2:35 am) dave-07 It has been well over a year now that an article in Motor Trend mentioned the Latitude. The article stated that the Latitude would be the next generation Stream headed to NA in 2007. You state it MAY resemble the FR-V or JDM EDIX. Where are you getting your information?   This year in NA, Mazda introduced the Mazda5. I have driven one and it's very nice. However, I prefer either Honda, the Stream or FR-V but really would like to see the Toyota Wish. These are all 6 seat vehicles, 2+2+2 for the Stream and Wish and 3+3 for the FR-V. Honda and Toyota may be waiting to see how the Mazda5 sells before coming here.   You mention the FIT. A slightly larger FIT would be the AIRWAVE but from what has been mentioned on the FIT board is not coming here at least not now. I am sure the FIT is going to be a HIT now that fuel prices are going back up. Replies to this message: hungarian83 (Dec 16, 2005 9:26 am)

Replying to: vcarreras (Dec 15, 2005 9:46 am) I don't think Honda has actually said anything about the Latitude. That doesn't mean it's not coming, but I don't think it will be for the 2007 model year. The US Fit is going to be sold as a 2007 model year car, not 2006. The new models for the US-market that have officially been announced by Honda are the 2007 Fit and "a new SUV model" (Acura RDX). The Latitude probably won't arrive until early to mid 2007 as a MY2008.   If Honda did sell a car in the US called the Latitude, it would be probably based on the FR-V/Edix or maybe a new generation Stream, but not the Airwave. Honda may consider the Airwave and Fit Aria for the US market if the Fit takes off (which I predict it will). Takeo Fukui even said in an interview that they would be working to strengthen Honda's line-up, especially in the Fit category. However, there is a massive gap in Honda's line-up for a medium-sized 5-door MPV. The Odyssey is now too big and expensive for many people, and the Stream or FR-V would be a great addition to the line-up. The sooner the better.

I remember there was an older discussion about this.   If Honda does build something like the FR-V, I would be highly interested in it as a 3rd car.
#6 of 42 update by wheelz4 Mar 29, 2006 (11:04 am)
In 4-Cars's (UK mag) future vehicles section, it mentions the 2007 Latitude....say's it's primarily for the US market but may come to the UK alongside the FR-V. (The Stream is currently sold alongside the FR-V). This would be welcome news....a genuine Honda Mazda5 competitor that may negate the need for a 3rd row seat in the upcoming CR-V. I've also heard that Toyota is looking at additional US plant capacity to add a "tall wagon" to their lineup and have seen spyshots of an extended version of Nissan's Note compact van (which thankfully seems to have lost the Note's ugly rear taillights). Things may be looking up!
#7 of 42 3+3 by bobw3 Mar 29, 2006 (1:14 pm)
I like the idea of 3+3, but to go further, I wish some of the mid-sized SUVs/minivans would come with 3+3+3. Not that I need to haul nine people around all the time, but it would be a nice option to have up front a middle seat that could be flipped up if necessary for sitting or flipped down as an armrest/cupholders, etc.
#8 of 42 more to come? by wheelz4 Apr 03, 2006 (7:33 am)
Add Kia's upcoming Carens (to be called Rondo? in North America) to the list of upcoming Mazda5 competitors. If Honda doesn't get in the game soon, it's going to be the too-Late-itude!
#9 of 42 Stream by odman Apr 29, 2006 (7:13 pm)
I've been wishing for the Stream for years now (not a fan of the FR-V). Hope Honda gets it's act together on this after the Fit launch. We're waiting.
#10 of 42 Looks like Kia will beat Honda to it! by wheelz4 May 01, 2006 (8:33 am)
Check out the Carens (to be called Rondo in North America), Odman. Should be available later on this year (will officially be unveiled in May), following in the footsteps of the Mazda5. http://www.whatcar.com/popups/gallery.aspx?NA=219375&EL=3155229 Not sure if Hyundai will have a version as well. With the exception of Mazda, the Koreans seem to be beating the Japanese to the punch.
#11 of 42 Latitude still alive? by wheelz4 May 04, 2006 (8:31 am)
TOV has a spot on the Latitude....claims a new Stream is due in weeks and that Honda has kept up renewing the Latitude name here in North America, so who knows? Maybe we'll finally get it here after all. Certainly hope it would be the new platform and not the current version (as they did with the Fit). Never have been too fond of the current version's styling, even with the refresh, and I think they'd be at a competitive disadvantage vs. the Mazda5 and Kia Rondo if they bring anything other than the new version that's apparently due in a matter of weeks in Japan. Maybe the reason the next-gen CR-V seems to be sticking with a 5 seat design is that Honda will use the Latitude to cover off the small multi-seat vehicle part of the market.
#12 of 42 more info by wheelz4 May 19, 2006 (9:16 am)
TOV has another bit on the new Stream, which is due in July. Some interesting tidbits on design & engine/transmission details, but no word on whether it'll be offered in North America. C'mon, Honda. We need this vehicle here now!
