Honda to add car smaller than Civic in U.S.
Honda Motor Co., the fifth-biggest automaker in the U.S., plans to expand its U.S. model line in 2006 with a new car that’s smaller and cheaper than the company’s Civic compact car, to lure more young buyers, spokesman Andy Boyd said Thursday. The car will probably be priced at less than $15,000, cheaper than the Civic, Honda’s entry-level model. Honda declined to say whether the car will be a version of the Japanese Fit model, sold in Europe as the Jazz. The Tokyo-based company’s U.S. unit last year filed for at least 10 Fit-related U.S. trademarks.
