Nissan’s success with the Juke is global. In Europe, it’s been one of the driving forces behind the company’s defiance of the crisis, while in the US they’ve sold about 35,000 this year, which isn’t bad.
But as some of you Top Gear fans know, Jesus drives a Honda. And we quote from John: “for I did not speak of my own Accord, but...”. So, what in all of God’s mighty kingdom will Honda do in response to the Juke. the Answer is simple: Jazz.
No, we’re not speaking in tongues. The next generation Honda Fit/Jazz is going to be launched soon. It will be a much better looking supermini/subcompact car and it will have some derivatives, including a crossover and a sedan.
This is the crossover in question. Quite obviously, this is styled like a combination of the Acura design language and the Juke’s. In fact, we don’t yet know for sure what it’s going to be sold as in the US, but since it’s a global car, there will surely be a Honda logo on it... somewhere.
We don’t yet know what sort of engines will be on offer, only that it will be built in Mexico. Since Honda doesn’t like turbos very much, it will probably have a 1.8-liter in the us and the 1.6-liter turbodiesel in Europe.
