The report said the car will probably be priced at less than $US15,000, cheaper than the Civic, Honda’s entry-level model.
The Detroit News said Honda declined to say whether the car will be a version of the Japanese Fit model, sold in some export markets as the Jazz, but noted that Honda’s US unit last year filed for at least 10 Fit-related US trademarks.
