A new promotional campaign has launched in Australia for the Honda Jazz (Fit) that’s pretty funny. I thought you might like to see some of these cute videos. Here’s what AutoBlog had to say about them. Also if you would like to test drive the new Fit be sure to stop by your local Cincinnati Honda dealer and give it a try!
It’s no secret that the Honda Fit is one of our favorite small cars. It blends nimble handling, good fuel efficiency and an amazing interior package. Few cars with such a small footprint can accommodate four adult passengers and their stuff in such comfort. Now the folks at Honda Australia have launched a new promotional campaign and contest they’ve dubbed Jazz-packing (remember, the Fit is marketed as the Jazz in numerous other global markets).
Just as college students back in the 1960s and 1970s used to stuff phone booths (you do remember what those are, right?) and Volkswagen Beetles, a particularly nerdy looking “scientist” named Rodney oversees the packing of a Honda Jazz with everything from hipsters to ninjas, rappers, and even strongmen and women – you can see all of the clever videos after the jump.
If you’ve got an idea of what to pack in a Jazz and you live in Australia, just upload a photo to the site where visitors can vote and the entries that get the most votes will get produced into a video like the ones you see after the jump. Whoever suggests the most popular entry will win the car used in the making of the ad.
I think that in today’s age and with the state of the economy gas mileage plays a bigger factor in our car buying decisions then in year’s past. The world seems to be focused on electric cars, hybrids and the like. Nothing is wrong with that. I know when it was time for me to purchase a new car not only did I look at style, performance, handling and accessories but I looked at cars that got good gas mileage. It just so turns out that Kelley Blue Book just put out there Top 10 Green cars of 2010 and I was so happy to see that Honda made the list not once but twice! When it comes to cars with great gas mileage this year Honda came in at the #2 and #7 positions. Honda really is a Green company. So when it’s time to visit your local Cincinnati Honda Dealer you’ll know which cars get the best gas mileage. Thanks to Kelley Blue Book for putting this list together.
Top 10 Green Cars #7
2010 Honda Fit | 31 mpg (28 city, 35 highway)
It isn’t as fuel efficient as the Toyota Yaris (36 highway mpg), but the Honda Fit is so much more fun, functional and interesting that it gets our nod here once again. Every Fit features a flexible multi-fold rear seat and surprising cargo capacity, while secretly lead-footed greenies can choose a Sport model with paddle shifters and a performance-tuned suspension.
Top 10 Green Cars #2
2010 Honda Insight | 41 mpg (40 city, 43 highway)
Starting at $20,510 and topping out at just $23,810 – with features like a voice-activated navigation system, Bluetooth phone connectivity and an upgraded audio system – the Honda Insight is the most affordable hybrid available today, and the second most fuel-efficient car on the road.
So in the 2000′s we saw such a wide variety of vehicles come and go. The Auto Industry had it’s good days and it’s bad days. We lost manufacturers and we gained some better insight on existing manufacturers. I think what has happened in the late 2000′s to the auto industry can never be forgotten. All the bailouts and all the brands lost. However, such huge advancements have been made in technology, style and the like. Edmunds.com put together a list of what they call the 10 most noteworthy vehicles of the decade and we are very happy to see that two cars we carry made the list. Below are the 2 vehicles we carry at Superior Honda and Superior Hyundai North and South from the list just as I found it on Edmunds.com. To see the full list just visit Edmunds.com. I’m just curious though what are your thoughts? Do you think they missed any? Do you think some they added shouldn’t be there? Let me know what you think.
And here it goes:
Honda Fit The Honda Fit arrived (for the 2007 model year) as gas prices were steadily climbing toward the $4-per-gallon-mark. Unlike its competitors, the Fit didn’t ask you to sacrifice space, practicality or driving pleasure. It delivered on all these counts, and proved that the new frontier of car design is within the cabin. Because of its folding “magic seats,” this tall hatchback swallowed surfboards and bikes with ease, yet still shoe-horned into small parking spaces. With a five-speed manual transmission, the 109-horsepower four-cylinder V-TEC felt punchy; the car’s superb handling was an unexpected bonus. With Honda’s flair for feng shui and near-40 mpg highway fuel economy, the Fit out-distanced all challengers without breaking a sweat. — Phil Reed, Senior Consumer Advice Editor – Edmunds.com
Hyundai Elantra This car marked a huge turning point for Hyundai, signifying the moment when the company that formally made cars that defined “cheap” — and not just in terms of sticker price — started to produce quality vehicles that could challenge the segment leaders. We had the redesigned-for-2001 Elantra in our long-term fleet back then and the Elantra logged 16,000 trouble-free miles under the heavy feet and hands of our staff. The logbook was filled with praise for this well-built, pleasantly driving, and now valid rival to the Civic and Corolla. — John DiPietro, Automotive Editor – Edmunds.com
