Potential Honda Jazz Upcoming Rivals ...(56K Warning !!!)

Thought I will make a new thread for the potential rivals for Jazz. (Could be or could not be.. depending if it is coming/release here..)

Different from this "New Rival for Honda Jazz " thread which they are actually rivals.

Found this from Apple HK where SpoonFit's girlfriend works... :D

NEW ECHO/VITZ 1.5 !!!

Still.. the Jazz looks so much better especially the interior ... and faster ...

ewww... personally I don't like it.. doesn't look good, interior looks cheap too..

that lots hot. looks like a corolla though. sorry guiys but i'll take a vitz over a jazz anyday.,

I think Jazz looks heaps neater than those two!

as Tony said - the interior is very basic... im surprised they even allowing the driver console to be in the centre of the car? WHY?

looks good.... with some mod done, the car will look damn hot.... issit single cam or twin cam? when issit gonna b released in oz???

looks crap badddd

not that bad lar... wat if someone tat dun like jazz says jazz looks crap????? no need 2 b that harsh rite?

I think it's quite cute... kinda like "Corolla's little brother" - a big improvement on the current Echo anyway. I believe it makes it's Australian debut at the Sydney Motor Show in October, and will hit our showroom floors after that. It's definately not as nice as Jazz though ;)

Ash

looks awesome..ehehhe

look nice!!!

looks like an old echo got stung by a bee.........


still looks much better than the current ugly echo.

would take a swift over one anyday!

I think it looks good...... the interior design layout is quite nice.....

then again.... any updated version vehicle will look nice compare to the current model, just wait and see what the next generation of Jazz will look like...... then we can start comparing...... :)

Damn they ruined the Echo!!

bah too cute! hehe just like the jazz

it is about time they changed the echo....... the echo has stayed the same since day one......

hopefully a decent engined variant is released

i think the car is "nose heavy" in design. the front of the car looks good but the back is a bit plain.

the LED tail lights of the black car is cool too.

i personally don't like the interior plastic of Toyota cars and the Echo has plenty on the dash.... the dials etc looks neat tho.

Arrhhh... with the KenStyle Kit.. the Vitz looks awesome..

Anyway.. here are a few more pixs...

woooo time to sell my jazz to get that silver echo
lol

new vitz looking very good, like the front end

The echo is nice!!! I was considering buying an Echo before... But I'm a Honda fan so have to stick with Honda... plus i think Honda Jazz still quicker than the Echo.

yap, but not sure the new echo

new echo 16"....

i dun think all come with 16"

still jazz none at all....hehehe....

NEW echo

Car looks cute on outside but Inside, looks very cheap, the seats look flat and unsupportive - look at Jazz seats bucket like, and the centre dials... not my taste sorry!!

Looks good.
Based on the looks alone, I would certainly take it over the current Jazz without hesitation

yeah yeah.... heheh... i wan one.... dunno how much.... definitely cheaper than jazz....

I don't like the Jazz/Fit's front seats though; gave me lower back problems..
Changed to semi-bucket seats.. Hahaha.. Love them like crazy!!

does anyone know when is the new Jazz coming out? 2007?

2006

ehhehe jazz to me still looks way better ... honda all da wayyy babyeeeee

new Echo RS should be quicker than Jazz.
coz the old RS echo using 1.5 and the new one should have something better.

The exact same thing is happening to me at the moment. I don't find the jazz seats that comfortable. THe back seats are just a joke. If it wasn't for the magic seats - id say they are the worse seats ever.

I wish I could afford proper bucket seats that wrap around you.

When you changed to bucket, is ur seating position still as high as ever? Or has it lowered due to the new seat.

the bucket seat is affordable... the rail is the problem..... the height should be more or less the same....
even the new swift seat a lot better than jazz

I feel that the front seats are just fine for me.

Well,that's for me. I've been driving an old camry sv21 '89 before. So it's an improvement for me at least.

My dad found the backseats pretty good.

The new Jazz has just been released in Japan and we probably won't see them until another few months if we are lucky.. (lucky as in if Aus Honda is getting them..) <--- My guess!!!

Just a few minor cosmatic changes as far as I can see.. (didn't do a thorough investigation..) ..

http://www.honda.co.jp/Fit/

is just 3 new colours and some cosmetic updates.
is just a Facelift not a new model, why can't we get the LED lights as standards lol

New model is due in mid-late 07

I dont like it.. too 'Nobby' like..

the yaris definetly looks cool, but I'm not diggin'g the central console crap. It looks stupid and eugh tacky and horrible.

Prefer standard console in front of driver.

isn't the Vitz RS a turbo?

Looks good................I love FiTGD3.

Fit1500_GD3, :) :) I like your Fit1500 GD3
