I've heard talk of a DOHC 3 Phase or i-VTEC L-Series Engine to be offered in the top of the range 2006 makeover of the Fit in Japan.
Surely this would put out a wad of power.
Anyone heard anything?

www.auto-g.jp/image.html?image=news/200503/18/topics01/01_b.jpgThe above are the first CGI from Japan on the replacement model, due in May/June 2006. Rumors with the picture indicate as well that the top of range might be loaded with the 1.7L VTEC engine, currently found in the Civic VTi-S. As mentioned in an article found, the engine option for the new Fit/Jazz sounds pretty exciting (but not confirm yet): - 1.3L VTEC SOHC - 1.3L iVTEC-DSI - 1.5L iVTEC-DSI - 1.5L VTEC DOHC Dimension wise, length might be increase by only 20mm, while width will be increase to 1695mm (a figure for full size mid size sedan in Japan).

Good find.. Just a direct transalation of the japanese from altavista regarding to the article.. don't throw stones at me if it doesn't make any sense to you .. ;D -------------------------------------------------------------------- HONDA fitting which is proud of the popularity of compact car number 1. However just changed also ヴィッツ has persevered, fitting is strong after all. Information of the next term model of such fitting dropped in! !
The current model is best condition, but
In June of 06 shadow of next term model
Sale best condition, appearing, although it has been about to enter 4 it probably will be entwined years immediately, still fitting of large popularity. As acquired self-confidence to height of this popularity, the circumstances which still continue to sell the current model... e.g., part improvement is planned in June of this year which exactly is 4 years from sale.
Well well, development of the next term model is advancing properly. Probably will be because the new model rival to be many it has appeared. When even then the current model most thinks of popularity, time postponement is a certain expectation, but....
The the mica - according to the place where the editorial staff catches, as for appearance of next term type fitting, 2006 June is powerful. The current model appearing, it means the point in time when 5 years elapse exactly.
Well, they are the contents, but there are five points in the information which is brought to the editorial staff.
First, is in regard to the exterior and the packaging, but to accept the fact that the current model is rather welcomed, basic keeping concept. Design with age is the expectation which becomes the design which evolved, but you call the forum of the body and the packaging whose habitability is high that it is followed.
Body size almost until recently is the same as the model, but the full-width 20mm is expanded to 1695mm, a little wide reaches 5 number full size.
The aerodynamic volume displacement is the same, but
As for engine renovation
Furthermore engine. Until recently, with the next term model, as for 1300cc it becomes VTEC of SOHC i VTEC - DSI of 1300cc and 1500cc and, vis-a-vis adopting SOHC unit together, 1500cc becomes VTEC of DOHC. This as it raises power efficiency to a greater extent, is the new unit which is thrown in order furthermore to improve fuel economy & environmental efficiency.
HONDA multiple matic S of stepless floor transmission CVT is adopted in both, with the paddle you can shift gear optionally the manual shift mode which is equipped in 1500cc. Furthermore this is 1500cc, but also sporty 5 speeds MT are prepared.
In addition, this at present stage does not come out of the category of imagination, but you call to other version, that there is also setting of 1700cc version. As for this next term type シビック which appears in the September this year becomes only the sedan, accepting the fact that 5 doors are abolished, says that it is measure in order to cover existing user layer.
Somewhat is, but if to wide it is converted, the body where also body rigidity improves it is the story which can be sufficiently.
In addition, this that it becomes manufacturer option, is thought whether grade limitation, but the wide glass area was provided in the ceiling, there is also information that also the "sky roof" is adopted.
As for new model fitting habitability as for running of course, also environmental efficiency and fuel economy クラストップレベル, furthermore may become the luxurious car whose added value is high.
