Honda plays it cool with Jazz

04/09/2008 16:23. A TOUCH of trad Jazz could spoil the party for Fords Fiesta.

Just days after Ford took the wraps off its sensational new little hatch, Honda has unveiled its new baby.

The latest Jazz will go head to head with the Fiesta when both go on sale in October.

But rather than going for an ultra modern, chic approach as Ford has done with the Fiesta, Honda is being more conservative.

The new Jazz is more a development of the current model no bad thing as its Britains third best selling small hatchback beaten only by the Fiesta and the Vauxhall Corsa.

It also appeals to a much more mature audience the average Jazz buyer is 63 and those folk dont necessarily like change.

So Honda has made the Jazz better in every department without tampering with its overall appeal.
