Honda Fit Hybrid

[Dougie]

Might have to add yet another heading!

Japan’s Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported that Honda Motor plans to start selling a hybrid version of its Fit subcompact worldwide as early as fiscal 2007 (April 2006 to April 2007). The report says that Honda is targeting fuel economy for the Fit hybrid comparable to the Insight and the Toyota Prius—between 55 mpg US (Prius) and 63 mpg US (Insight). The Fit hybrid stands to become the first hybrid to be priced at less than ¥2 million (US$16,900), as Honda apparently aims to sell it for around ¥1.4 million yen (US@11,800), about ¥200,000 (US$1,685) more than the conventional Fit.

Hi Dougie and thanks for the post

As the first thread on this topic AND also posted in the best fit (pun ) forum I 'd rather leave this one unlocked.

However, there have now been 2 new threads on this topic and the second got the most replies. Since a database program can't easily merge threads (it has no "idea" of how the flow of the posts should fit together) for housekeeping purposes and to keep the information consise for all members to readily follow I've got to lock two.

Please post any follow-ups to this thread:
