The Honda Fit (Jazz) Sport model is not available in India, Honda is mulling over the possibility of introducing the 1.5-liter engine variant in India next year.
In the U.S though, you could buy the Fit off a Honda showroom. Now add to that some flashy jewelery in the form of Honda and Mugen parts which makes the Fit sportier and more fun (and pricey as well)
Honda’s long-time racing team and performance parts supplier, Mugen, has introduced a list of accessories.
Mugen Accessories for Honda Fit/Jazz
- front sport grille
- front, side and rear spoilers
- 16-inch, black-metal coated wheels
- mufflers
- sports pedals
- shift knob
- quick shifter
- mirror covers
- oil filter cap
Rumors have surfaced on the possibility of the Tata Nano sold and serviced by Chrysler’s network in the U.S.A. The U.S-spec Tata Nano could host a 3-cyl engine that should produce twice the power of the Indian version with an array of safety devices like airbags, ABS, ESP and re engineered crumple zones to pass U.S crash test requirements as mentioned by Ratan Tata during the car’s launch in Mumbai and recently in a press conference.
Station wagon, 2-door and convertibles might eventually make the cut, but only after gauging the feedback of the regular car in the unpredictable U.S market.
We don’t have any more information on this topic, but the Tata-Fiat deal isn’t going to stop with India and that’s for sure. During the Nano launch, Tata Motors’ boss Ratan Tata stressed on how the Indian company is cooperating with Fiat on a Brazilian plant that will manufacture commercial vehicles.
For a start, the Xenon pickup truck will be manufactured in Brazil and sold with a Fiat logo, while bigger and more powerful vehicles were not ruled out in the future.
