Honda announces hybrid Fit

May 28, 2008 / Expected to go on sale in “in the early 2010s.”

At a Tokyo press conference last week Honda announced plans to renew its hybrid lineup, part of which includes a gas-electric Fit. The hybrid option is expected within around five years, and will cost about $2,000 more than the petrol-only model. Awesome. For an extra $2k we would have stretched to get a hybrid model a year ago—the Prius was then about $10k more; pretty serious difference. And of course the Fit is way cooler. (Sorry Lyds.)
