Honda City Concept Debuts at Australian Motor Show

This is not a car slotted to reach North American soil anytime soon, if ever.

Already launched in Thailand last month, the all-new third-generation Honda City will hit Australian streets from February 2009. However, for the Australian International Motor Show, Honda is presenting a futuristic City model in concept form.

Foreshadowing the styling possibilities of the new light car, the City Concept features a redesigned front end with custom LED headlamps, fog lamps and tail lights, redesigned mirrors, 17-inch wheels and lowered ride height.

The City will be offered in two spec levels, ranging from $17,990 to $21,990. Power will be delivered via the same 1.5-litre four-cylinder found in the Jazz - to which the City is the sedan counterpart - making 88kW and offering a fuel economy better than 6.4L/100km.

Even More Pic's of the 2009 Honda City (again, not for north america)

Just some more pic's of basically a Fit sedan with the FCX front end. Looks really nice, but with how well the Civic and the Fit sell here in North America, I think that there'd be alot of 'self-cannabalization' within the lineup.

09 Honda City Spied in China

Again, there are no plans of bringing this slightly bigger version of the FIT in a sedan form to North America, but it will sell in the UK, Japan, and elsewhere. Looks alot like a BMW from the back end.

Another Look at the Next Gen Honda City

Not for North America. Get used to the new front end, I think it will be with Honda for awhile.

Here's a link to my previous article on the car;
