Honda Small car Jazz / Fit in india mid 2008

Small car buyers may soon have one more option. HONDA company is working hard on their small redesigned car honda FIT/JAZZ plans to launch it in mid 2008 in Indian market.
The Honda Jazz / Fit is a five-door hatchback automobile produced by Honda of Japan, that was first introduced in June 2001. The Jazz is based on the same platform as the Honda CityZX. At 3,830mm, the Jazz will meet the 4-metre overall length parameter that the Government has set for being eligible for the lower 16 per cent excise duty rate.

However, in most markets the Jazz or the Fit is currently being offered with a 1.5-litre petrol engine, a feature that will disqualify it for the lower excise rate, based on the Government's other 1.2-litre engine size limitation for eligible small cars. Honda could be developing a smaller sized version of its i-DSI engine for meeting the norms.
the Fit has a class-leading 24 km per liter fuel economy.
In japan it is available inn two model-1)Fit-Starting at $13,9501
2)-Fit Sport - $15,2701.
