The first official pictures of the second generation Honda Fit (Jazz in Europe and other worldwide markets) slipped into the internet this morning. Details are scarce for the moment, but we can tell you that the 2008 Fit / Jazz is slightly bigger than the current model measuring at 3,900 mm in length (+55 mm or 2.2-inches) and 1,695 mm in width (+20 mm or 0.8-inches) while the wheelbase (2,500 mm) is increased by 50 mm or 2.0-inches. From earlier reports we also know that in Japan, the 2008 model will be offered with two engine units, a new 1.3L VTEC delivering 100 PS @ 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.2 kgm @ 4,500 (vs 86 PS and 12.1 kgm respectively for the current 1.3L iDSi engine) and a 1.5L VTEC with an output of 120 PS @ 6,300 rpm and a maximum torque of 14.9 kgm @ 4.800 rpm. -Continued: Click "Read More..." below From what we can see in the pictures, the 2008 Fit / Jazz’s design features several details inside and out from the European Civic hatch. However, to be totally honest with you, overall, the 2008 model sort of looks like the previous generation 5door Civic. We’ll have more on the newFit / Jazz as soon as Honda frees the official press release.

The interior is grotesque. Spoils an otherwise nice car.
No diesel for the U.S.? Guess I will stick with VW....
You know why they didn't call the Honda Jazz/Fit by it's intended name??
Honda had originally planned to name the first gen the Honda Fitta. Probably sounds ok to you? If you are in Scandinavia though that would be the same as calling the car the Honda Pussy. That's why they chose to call it the Honda Jazz in europe but modified the original name slightly to Honda Fit in the US(Honda deemed Fit to be too close to the original name in Scandinavia).
Honda had even made the brochures and the slogan for the model when the name problem was discovered.
The slogan...: Small on the outside but big on the inside.
Just imagine the adverts for that car in Scandinavia: Honda Fitta(Pussy). Small on the outside but big on the inside. !!!!!
