Jazz at 2nd Philippine International Motor Show |
|
CALLING it a Fun Utility Vehicle, Honda Cars Phils. Inc. (HCPI) on
August 21 premiered the new Honda Jazz at the 2nd Philippine
International Motor Show. The second generation Jazz is apparently
as youthful as the first, with Honda saying the new car’s advanced
and vibrant features will “bring out added fun and excitement to
one’s driving experience.”
“Since its introduction in 2001, the Jazz has
revolutionized the small-car concept and has won the hearts of many
customers in over 115 countries for its astounding fuel economy,
styling and spaciousness. With the second-generation Jazz’s
refreshing design, the car is set to bring more fun in every
drive—especially in the face of spiraling fuel costs,” said HCPI
President and General Manager Hiroshi Shimizu at the car’s launch.
