Last sentence says: "The report also says that Honda executives have denied that the subcompact Fit will be available as a hybrid". http://www.canadiandriver.com/news/060519-6.htm No problem with me, as long as Honda fits the Fit with a small super efficient turbo diesel that gets 65+mpg. Yes honda, after almost 5 years in this thread I am still waiting for the Fit that fits my efficiency preference. Hey, I'll take a 3+3 FRV diesel too - if it gets 40+mpg. marcb - ex Prius Owner. - getting 45mpg mixed driving on a 12 year old Jetta diesel.

Replying to: frayadjacent (May 17, 2006 3:23 pm) The newest IMA do have double the output, by coincidence. However, I don't know if it is used anywhere except the 2006 HCH. The IMA advantage is that Honda could place it in any vehicle at a moment's notice, unlike the HSD, which requires more engineering. The only thing Honda has to do is find a place for the batteries and reprogram the ECU. The drive train is plug and play with the standard Honda transmission components. It is not as efficient a hybrid, but is easier to implement. The second advantage it has over HSD is that the IMA will run without a traction battery; the HSD cannot.

By the way, the FR-V diesel consumes 5.3L/100km in extra urban (highway) driving so that will fit your requirement of 40+mpg. Actually, combined fuel consumption is 6.3L/100km (~37 mpg), which is quite good for a 1600kg MPV!

Replying to: varmint (May 22, 2006 9:58 am) Sales of the Jazz in Europe are OK (and they are rising every year), but still nothing spectacular. All (or at least almost all) of the competition offers a diesel option, and Honda will need to do the same to raise the bar with the next generation Jazz.
