The HR-V is already on sale in Thailand. I saw 3 in my first 2 days here. I asked if Honda would let me have a drive via Honda Thailand, but Honda declined. The Jazz/Fit has been on sale here for at least 6 months. There's also a new 4 door 'City' version of it. I think they still have the 1.5iVTEC 120PS and 4 speed torque converter auto, like my 2nd generation City rental.
I'll be very interested to hear what you think of this when Honda eventuallly let you have a go. The hybrid model is potentially a game changer, don't you think? It would be the first such car in this category and, to judge by the numbers of Outlander PHEV's I am suddenly seeing on our roads, a popular choice with a savvy SUV buyer taking care to avoid forthcoming taxes on diesels and benefit from a low CO2 emission.
