Guangzhou Honda has introduced Accord, Odyssey and Fit saloons to the market over the past six years from its establishment, with a marketing volume growth from 10,000 vehicles in 1999 to expected 211,500 vehicles this year. At present, Guangzhou Honda has a daily output of 1,000 vehicles to meet the increasing demand of market.

It’s official. Honda is bringing the sub-Civic sized Fit to the U.S., at least a variation anyway. AutoWeek quotes a Honda executive as saying the company saw Scion’s success and answered “we can do that.” But of course Honda won’t be diluting their awesome name recognition with another brand the way Toyota did with Scion. Although it sure hasn’t seemed to hurt Scion or Toyota at all. But it definitely cost them a whole lot of money in advertising, marketing and dealership costs. Expect the engine to be a 1.5 liter and the price to be around $12,000.
