A Chinese Fit - tyre tread
Someone told me tonight that they had read that Honda are producing the Fit (Jazz) in China and would be exporting to the UK at circa £6K.

I don't believe it for a minute but anyone know anything about this?

AFAIK Honda produce the Jazz in Japan only and I doubt that they would undermine the existing market where they can sell the Jazz all day at circa £10K.

The only reason to import a Fit to the UK is in the 1.5 Vtech form which I believe are produced for the Jap and Malaysin markets.

A Chinese Fit - Stuartli
Honda has been producing the Fit (Jazz) in collaboration with Guangzhou Honda Automobile Co Ltd, its automobile production and sales joint venture in China, since 2003 - it went on sale in China in September that year.

It can sell all the cars it can produce and more in that country.
