Default Honda Profit Rise and mention of upcoming Fit

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=100...ioI&refer=japan

Honda Motor Co., Japan's third- largest carmaker, will probably report fiscal fourth-quarter net income rose 36 percent helped by the introduction of the Ridgeline truck in the U.S. and higher sales in Asia.
Honda plans to add a new small car based on the Fit compact car in the U.S. in 2006 priced at less than $15,000, while Nissan will launch a new small car in 2007.

Mazda Matrix?

Why? Because "above all, it's a Honda"

Looks aren't everything.. Scion is a perfect example of that.. whether some trend whores think rolling refrigerators look cool or not.

No. The DC5 is the chassis code for the RSX. DC4, DC2, DB8, and DB7 are chassis codes for the 94-01 integra.
