[furiouswilly]

Hi,

I i just sold my EK, iam looking to buy a Honda jazz, but i realize they going to release the new one soon, because i worry he old jazz's price will drop immediately, so should i wait until it release, any idea?

It's only a facelift. Just launched in Japan late last year. It depends on how many Jazz are currently sitting in Australia. If there's plenty of stock here they'll hold out until they're just about gone.

Wouldnt hurt to wait and get the new one. Youd probably save a bit of $$ if you went for the old one though. Heres some info and decent pics on the new one though. Sort of got an FN2 bonnet.

You guys dont know shit about jazz, spreading wrong information arround lol.

read the spec, new car is wider/longer all new panel, no pieces of panel are the same to the old ones, the only thing the same is the magic seat. :D

[furiouswilly]

You know how many changes manufacturers make to their facelifts before you start running your mouth? I've seen a list of over 3,500 changes to the VW Touareg on the facelift. They changed engines, chassis, suspension, steering, bodywork, trim and options.

and.. the point is?

[Jaso]

the point is that a whole raft of changes can be made with it still only being a face lift.

Does anyone know weather this is actually a face lift or all new?

[Dreams]

imo, facelift refer to minor changes, total body+chassis change does that count as a facelift?? context?

its in middle of this year approx JULY - september

Just came back from Singapore. The new Jazz is on the road already.

IMO the old model looks better than the new one (New one looks too much like a yaris)

Afaik the new Jazz will by MY09 model & brand new ie not a facelift model.

Don't think this MY09 Jazz is just a series IV face-lifted 2002 Jazz ok....... as it's definitely not.

NEW JAZZ is ugly! Looks like YARIS!

[<4n'D>]

its completely different...

if i remember, they added more power to the engine and reworked the suspension too

[dmx]

yap, it's new shape. not face lift. Oz slightly late to realese new jazz. other countries has realesed a few month ago.

[Tofu]

considering it has a new/revised chassis, i don't think you can call it a facelift.

[Dreams]

yup, some people just dont get it.

[Joe kickarse]

Release date for Jazz is Aug/Sept this year

The new one looks great very nice, like all new car models/updates they are hated at first, then loved later.

[bigdongers]

just cause the new Jazz still looks similar to the old Jazz doesnt mean its a facelift. Its an all new model.

The Jazz had its first face lift in 2005 when they changed the bumpers and stereo

[mbdownunder]

It's definitely an all-new model, not a facelift. I love the glass roof option :thumbsup:
