		Item 10 of 13: Honda Jazz Some of you may remember the dismal 1984 Honda Jazz mini-car. Well, forget about it, as Honda's resurrection of the name will be on the rump of this versatile new micro-MPV. Looks like a direct rival to Daihatsu's YRV, although possibly not in price (not yet announced). The Jazz will be powered by either a 1.2 or a 1.4-litre four cylinder engine featuring Honda’s Dual & Sequential Ignition System (comprising two spark plugs per cylinder in a compact combustion chamber where sequential ignition results in low emissions and high fuel economy). The Jazz will be on sale in Japan later this month under the Honda Fit tag. It will debut in Europe at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and British sales will start early in 2002. << item 9   item 11>>
