[hondajazz2005]

imho, i still think previous model is better looking...

[abupu]

we'll have to see if the specs are any better here in oz once it gets released...

[minhkore]

old honda jazz still ftw..
somehow that reminds me of a mazda 3 hatch -_-

[jeffske]

X2 for current model, this new one will push down the price of the current
win win for everyone

[kongfu]

GD3 is the best. New GE4 looks like a big van.

[kelvinthai]

actually this model does look nice..

[CB7_OWNER]

Be lovely if they made a DOHC vtec... version of it

[noodleman27]

love the rear....hate the front

[kongfu]

Hate the size and Yaris look.

[BiLL|z0r]

Don't mind the look. Looks like a Merc A-class. Really depends on what engines and standard specs it comes with though.
I'm looking at the current model so hopefully will get 1 at a real good price.

[abupu]

i think the new model is getting released here in the next few months... i'd still wait a bit until they start rocking up in dealers for that discount.

[shadou]

who cares how it looks, it has a proper automatic box now instead of the CVT =D

[Dreams]

good find!

cant wait to see it in person and test drive it

[MUGENJ]

overall of cause theres some improvement in the new jazz but still the GD3 shape, size n form.. kickazz!!

[kongfu]

Its getting uglier seriously. Lets appreciate GD3! : )

[Slow_Dan]

Looks nice at the front, quite an aggresive look, cant say the same for the back

With this release imminent, I should probably wait till its on the market before I start looking for one. hopefully it'll bring the prices down on the current model

[DoMk]

i wouldn't buy it... not a big fan of the colour either, but would be intresting to see the specs.

Wont be cheaper than current model. It will be slighly more actually due to increase in tariff and duty.

[Slow_Dan]

You're right :) But I dont mind the current model, and im guessing that with releases of newer models normally result in lower prices for the "older/current" models so that dealers can clear old stock?

So if the current models were priced in 18k new, im hoping to get 17k or less for a second hand? :)

[BiLL|z0r]

I'd hope to get 17k or less for a new Jazz of an old model. That's what I'll be chasing when I get 1 in Aug/Sept.

[kongfu]

17k probably GLI 1.3

[MRFIT]

wait til the VTiS model to come out then make a judgement.... if its still called the VTiS...

[ACE888]

Looks like a Merc A Class from behind, however in front, dont know what but that front grille is definitely borrowed from the current Accord Euro.

[lionhart87]

still prefer the exterior of the GD3, but i do like the interior of the new GE jazz
if that interior was in a GD then it would perfect IMO

[kelvinthai]

buy two than and make a interior swap :p

[95331140]

Lovin the new Jazz...Will buy it when series 2 or 3 comes out.

Learnt my lesson from buying the series 1 model of the current jazz!

[philBo]

i like it a lot!

[kelvinthai]

lol yar i am going to wait for the facelifted version too.. cost less at least you get more extras... more feature and better looking.

new car just always look good at first.

[Zimp13]

wait til the VTiS model to come out then make a judgement.... if its still called the VTiS...

u still ve the time to login mrmini??? :p

[SPEEDCORE]

The thing screams of Suzuki Liana

[Drew]

Looks better than the current Jazz for sure

[fundies]

Thumbs up from me. I'll still milk another 5 years or so out of the 05 Jazz VTI before I think of buying another Jazz, I'd be very surprised if it beats the current Jazz's on fuel economy.

[95331140]

Some better pictures here:

Click on the picture to see the enlarged version.

And yes, apparantly fuel economy will be better due to taller gearing and DBW throttle.

[BiLL|z0r]

Seeing these pics makes me want a new model instead. Pity dealers would be very lucky to move on price with a newly released car.

[todaek9]

Look abit like the new Merc A-class...hmmm

[kelvinthai]

lol learn your lesson.. but the face lifted one!!!

[95331140]

Rear floor has never been flat.

[Zimp13]

Hope that the new Fit/Jazz Hybrid makes it here soon.

This may be of interest to some:

[Q_ball]

I quite like the look of this new one :)

[noodleman27]

wonder if the aus spec will have the moon roof

[95331140]

Thats US version mate. uglier :eek:

Seriously, I doubt that makes a huge difference.

It's highly likely that we wont see the Sat nav.

[95331140]

wonder if the aus spec will have the moon roof

I'd get it straight away...wouldn't think twice about it!

[95331140]

Just wonder...If thailand are seeing the traditional 5 speed auto, does that mean the CVT is finished? I certainly hope not.

I think from memory, the Japanese market still have the CVT for the new model.

[kelvinthai]

not too sure of japan market. However our part, asia and US has no CVT for the new model.

[95331140]

I'd still rather a CVT over a 5spd auto anyday.

Also, looking at the Thailand website, the new jazz will have Disc brakes all round. And the US model won't...!

[bodaas]

i need economical car

sept is too long to wait

[Zimp13]

jazz cvt no good... me and 3 of the ppl that i know all have the cvt problem.... ask honda.... could this just a not so good luck coincidence... will never touch cvt anytime soon till its proven to last

[SPQR]

sept is too long to wait

I was at my local H Dealer yesterday to look at the new Euro. They let slip that not only was the new Euro just released but the Legend as well and.... the Jazz. They were expecting it to turn up any day now.

[terryansimon]

the top of the line Jazz in Singapore has the HID lights as standard as well. I think the moonroof was an option but mmm. wouldn't mind downgrading to that car if petrol prices over here continue to go up.

[Type R Positive]

imho, i still think previous model is better looking...definately.

[kelvinthai]

man that happens to everyone.. when u get use to the new look you will find the old one is dull and stupid looking.. new one is more sleek..

[mEh.]

New model looks nice.
Less of a people mover look.

[Slow_Dan]

Front looks sharp, rear looks like the getz, dont quite like the tail lights, like the front, dont like the rear

[Zimp13]

cant wait to reach showroom.... :)

[Zimp13]

http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94098

[UNLS1]

[Zimp13]

any indication on pricing and specs????? thank u

[Slow_Dan]

Check out the honda websites overseas, i.e. US, Jap, Singapore, etc, that should give you a "rough" idea of what to expect here

[omn1potent]

Any indication of cost and when the new Jazz/Fit Hybrid will hit our shores?

[95331140]

I certainly hopes it retains the CVT tranny..

[UNLS1]

no prices as of yet.

[BiLL|z0r]

Looking at the Singapore web site the new Jazz looks sweeeettt in specs. More power, bigger rims, better auto, MP3 and iPod stereo, rear disc brakes and heaps more.

Makes me kinda wish I'd waited till the new model came out but couldn't really afford it anyway. Even the 1.3Ltr has i-VTEC

On the contrary, new cars "normally" come with unforeseen problems, and it takes a facelift or 2 to fix those problems, at least u bought a car that had the majority of its problems with known fixes

And if you go on waiting, u'd never find the perfect car :p there's bound to be something better in the future :D

[SPEEDCORE]

If this new one ends up with drums on the rear for the Australian market I am going to be extremly disappointed.

Hi mate

Guangzhou China Honda manufacturer already launched sale of New Fit.

1.3 L Fit is front disc +rear drum.

1.5L Fit is Front and rear disc.

[SPEEDCORE]

Yeah.... I could live with the combo you mentioned but what market is that for?

USA released ones will only be available in 1.5L, yet retain drum rears according to this http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=NpKjf8j6COs&feature=related

Just noticed from those spy pics in Melb...... indicators are not intergrated into the side mirrors like the japanese model and it is on the front guard *sigh*

Two manufacturers in Asia(China and Thailand)apart from Japan.I have mentioned its for Chinese domestic market. But AU Jazz will be delivered from Thailand. Lets wait and see.:thumbsup:

[bobioso]

Just came back from a Honda dealership. Australian dealers are having a Jazz day on 29 July when pricing and specs will be revealed. Sales starts in August. Most likely 1.5l only, in 3 spec levels and 6 colorus (+ 2 transmission options).
