Post Honda City caught undisguised
Honda's latest City, which is primarily sold overseas in Asian countries, has been outed and things are looking pretty good for the little machine. We really dig the look of the new City, with its front-end clearly derived from newer Hondas like the FCX Clarity. Inside is a neat and tidy dash, instrument cluster and center stack that makes us long for the simple designs from a few years back. Tucked in behind the steering wheel are paddle shifters for the automatic transmission and under the stylishly creased hood is a 120-horse 1.5-liter four cylinder i-VTEC engine, which is also used by the Fit and Jazz models. Based on photos alone, Honda could certainly do worse than to offer this fuel-sipper on U.S. shores.

The City is a car below the Civic. The current generation City shares suspension, chassis as the Honda Fit/Jazz.




I still prefer this current generation of the City.

When I heard "Honda City" I thought this was the analogous site to Toyota City, the corp. HQ.

Well, it sure makes more sense on 99.9% of American roads than the Smart-for-Two does.
