The fuel efficient Honda Fit will become even more frugal next year when Honda releases a hybrid version of the fit. The Insight sells for about $3k more than the fit in Japan, so just imagine a $16k hybrid on the market next year! One can only dream. As gas is back on the rise, Honda Motor Co. sees a huge market for fuel efficient hybrid cars.
The Fit has long been on the drawing board as a likely candidate for a hybrid power train but the recent spike in Crude Oil prices have caused the suits over at big Honda to push up the production to next year. Not too much is known yet but a puny 1-Liter engine may be the power plant pushing this little car into the 60 MPG range.
