Spied: 2008 Honda Jazz (Fit) Mule

When an Auto Express reader spotted this Honda in a motorway ser­vice station, it stood out because of its scrappy taped-up wheelarches.

On closer inspection, it was clear this was no ordinary Jazz, but a mule being used to test parts for the firm's next-generation supermini. After the success of the new UK designed and developed Civic, Honda's British arm is now playing a major role in the Jazz project. But the big news is that the car will be offered with a diesel engine for the first time.

This spyshot shows how the five-door will be bigger all-round than at present. Sources in Japan have revealed that the fresh model will use the same basic chassis as its predecessor, retaining the groundbreaking central fuel tank.

So, we should expect this is five/six years, too?

It will probably be here around the same time everyone else in the world will be receiving it now that it's part of the North American lineup and important to Hondas future in the US and Canada.
