Honda has announced that the new second-generation Honda Fit will be up for sale in Japan on Friday, October 26, 2007. The Fit is most recognized for becoming the first car since 1969 to outsell Toyota's Corolla, on the Japanese car market.<!--more-->
The new Fit is 20 mm wider and has a longer wheelbase-50 mm than its predecessor. The front pillar has been moved forward to create a more spacious interior. Honda claims that the body construction of the second-generation Fit is more rigid and that more sound-absorbing acoustic materials have been addes. The entry-level model features a 100 hp 1.3-litre i-VTEC engine.
Honda also offers the Fit RS (signifying Road Sailing) model that will be powered by a new 1.5-liter i-VTEC engine, putting out (120 hp) and 19.6 km on a liter of petrol (45 mpg U.S.). By all accounts, Honda has delivered another fine offering fit for the practical person.
