Default What ever happened to Honda Jazz?

Hi guys!

I have been drooling over the Honda Jazz for some time now. My dad drives one from time to time, and even tho that little bugger dont have much of an engine, I cant help but to like the exterior and interior of it.

Coming from me, this is gonna sound corny, but damn I think the Mugen bodykit for the car is friggin HOT.

The car is coming out in 2005, not Fall 2004. The Mugen stuff looks nice, but it probably cost at least 30-40% of the msrp of the car.

Entirely new design, or at least, thats what Honda claims.

On a diffrent note, both Mugen and Spoon now offer their entire product range for this car.

Jazz - Honda's Small Car Gets Better Still

From Honda Euprope Public Relations
Honda's multi-award winning small car, the Jazz, with its clever packaging, "Magic" seats and some of the most fuel efficient petrol engines on the market, now benefits from a series of enhancements both inside and out. Fresh exterior styling, more advanced and stylish instrumentation and the availability of more features are among the changes.

The styling changes are aimed at providing a more quality, dynamic and solid look. A renewed headlight design has an inner surface of the light cluster that can be black, silver or body colored depending on grade. On upper grades, LED indicators are incorporated into the side mirrors continuing the Honda "family" feel to the exterior design.

The interior changes include, a new trim for the seats, a new sporty steering wheel, steering wheel mounted paddles in place of buttons for the CVT version, fully automatic air conditioning on upper grades, a new design of the fascia and self illuminating dials already found on other Honda models.

All Jazz models now have rear disc brakes. Also, on 1.4 liter manual transmission versions, there is an option of Honda's 4-channel VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) system.

One of Honda's prime objectives in designing the Jazz was best-in-class levels of safety. And in Phase 14 of the Euro NCAP crash test results announced during summer 2004, those efforts were endorsed with the first 3 star pedestrian safety rating for the supermini class under the newer and much tougher testing protocol. With 4 star occupant protection, 3 star pedestrian protection and a 3 star child seat rating, the Jazz has the best overall performance for combined safety in the class to date.

Sales of the revised Jazz models commence in October.

No ****. Imagine what 260bhp could do to a car that weights 820 kilos.
